How to take IOP Measurements
Watch the video first!
It can be found on the CD or on www.ziemergroup.com.
1. Always use a new SensorCap!
Do not disinfect or reuse the cap and the SensorTip as they get damaged.
2. Place the patient in front of the slit lamp. Give him/her time to relax.
Vascular parameters influence IOP. A comfortable positioning is the key to reliable IOP.
3. Apply a drop of anesthetics – typically with no fluorescein.
Ask the patient to look straight forward.
4. Use the slit lamp's joystick to center the SensorTip close to the apex.
Switch on the PASCAL (Blue Knob) before touching the cornea.
5. Advance SensorTip towards the eye until its lever arm is fully upright.
Do not be timid - you cannot harm the eye as a loud beep-tone would warn you if you
advance too far. The Eyelid or lashes must not touch the SensorTip.
6. Center the small square sensor on the dark circular zone (= tear film in contact zone)
The dark circular area marks the zone where the tear film of the cornea touches the
SensorTip– it is not necessarily concentric with the pupil.
Patient must look straight ahead. Picture of SensorTip and Eye through the ocular. Sensor (the
SensorTip must be aligned bluish square) should be centered on the dark blotch formed
centrally on the apex. by the tear film contacting the SensorTip surface.
7. PASCAL starts to measure giving a continuous IOP melody when the sensor position is
central and lever arm upright. Keep this position.
If the melody is intermittent, advance further - if no melody is heard, continue to
center.
8. When you hear the Q-indicator, withdraw the slit lamp swiftly.
The 3 tones indicate a desired quality is met. Only a fast removal ends a measurement.
9. PASCAL then calculates IOP, OPA and Q.
A Quality index of Q=1 or 2 is desirable.
Consider repeating the measurement for Q=3.
Q=4 or 5 results must be discarded.
