Enhancing Veterinary Ophthalmic Care with the iCare TONOVET Plus
iCare TONOVET Plus: User-Friendly Vet Eye Tool
Having the right tools can make all the difference in advancing the level of care we provide in veterinary medicine, especially when it comes to something as delicate as eye health.
Picture this…
A 7-year-old Cocker Spaniel is brought into your clinic with squinting, redness, and apparent discomfort in one eye. The owner mentioned he was perfectly fine the day before, but started pawing at its face this morning.
Without an intraocular pressure (IOP) reading, you're left with several possibilities:
· Uveitis
· Glaucoma
· Corneal ulcer
· Conjunctivitis
Since the diagnosis is still unknown, time is critical to avoid treatment delays that could impact your patient’s vision.
The iCare TONOVET Plus tonometer is one of those game-changing pieces of equipment that makes checking intraocular pressure quick, easy, and stress-free for both patients and practitioners.
User-Friendly Design
The TONOVET Plus is recognized for its intuitive design, making it easy for seasoned ophthalmologists and new general practitioners.
Its modern user interface features a clear, large display, and red and green positioning lights assist in aligning the device correctly with the cornea. This ensures accurate readings with very minimal effort.
Additionally, the automatic measuring sequence allows for either single readings or a series of six measurements with a single button press.
Gentle and Stress-Free for Patients
The TONOVET Plus employs a rebound measuring principle, and its lightweight probe makes brief contact with the cornea.
This method is gentle enough to eliminate the need for topical anesthesia and typically does not induce a corneal reflex, resulting in a more comfortable experience for the patient.
Versatility Across Species
Arguably one of the best parts, the device is equipped with species-specific calibration settings, including options for dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses.
This feature ensures that IOP measurements are accurate and tailored to the anatomical nuances of each species, making it a truly versatile tool in diverse veterinary settings.
Portability for On-the-Go Practitioners
For veterinarians who operate in multiple locations or offer mobile services, the TONOVET Plus comes with a durable aluminum carrying case, making it easy to transport.
Its compact design and battery operation ensure that high-quality ophthalmic assessments can be conducted wherever needed.
Comprehensive Package Details
The TONOVET Plus package includes:
The TONOVET Plus device
100 single-use probes
Aluminum carrying case
Probe base cleaning container
IOP pad and probe base collar (standard and narrow)
USB stick with digital manuals
This all-in-one kit equips veterinary teams with everything they need to start using the device immediately after purchase.
Let’s think back to that 7-year-old Cocker Spaniel…
With no need for a topical anesthetic, your technician can quickly and gently take an accurate IOP reading, often in under a minute. If the pressure is elevated, you can begin treatment immediately and refer to a specialist if needed.
A reliable IOP measurement on the spot drastically improves diagnostic confidence, helps guide treatment decisions, and—most importantly—protects your patient’s vision.
Incorporating the iCare TONOVET Plus tonometer into your practice can offer you and your team comfort and trust in its accuracy during daily ophthalmic evaluations.
Teams love its user-friendly design, patient comfort considerations, and species versatility, making it an excellent tool for veterinary professionals committed to delivering high-quality eye care!
