Conditions Detected Through Non-Contact Tonometry
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve, often due to elevated eye pressure. Early diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes.
Ocular Hypertension
This condition occurs when eye pressure is higher than normal without evidence of optic nerve damage. Patients with ocular hypertension may require regular monitoring.
Risk of Optic Nerve Damage
Persistent elevated pressure can place stress on the optic nerve and increase the risk of vision loss.
Eye Health Monitoring
NCT serves as an important screening tool for evaluating overall ocular health and identifying patients who require further investigation.
Understanding Eye Pressure Results
- Optic nerve health
- Corneal thickness
- Visual field function
- Retinal condition
- Overall glaucoma risk
