Description
Fits nearly all ‘Haag-Style’ slit lamps, easy to install nothing is more accurate than Goldmann Tonometry.
Not efficient in terms of patient flow, drops required, not high on patient’s list of comfortable things.
In terms of applanation tonometry, this device is well made, yet commoditized and no more efficient/accurate or durable than other brands.
Overview
Overview
The Haag-Streit 870 and R900 are by far the world’s most popular applanation tonometer. Some time now from inception, the patent has since expired and competitors have flooded the market with basically identical, commoditized examples of the same device. It would seem that from our testing that all Haag-Streit devices are fairly more robust and durable- however each applanation tonometer is practically the same. With that being said- a simple conclusion should be drawn– there is no form of tonometry currently more accurate that applanation Goldmann tonometry.Â
