Series mode
The series mode is especially
useful in self-tonometry. In the
series mode, keeping
the button pressed down
(see figure left) initiates the
measurement function, and
the tonometer takes six rapid
measurements one after the
other to obtain the final IOP
reading. The button must be
pressed for at least 3 seconds.
Single mode
You can use the single mode to
take individual measurements
one at a time. The single mode
is especially useful for those
patients who tend to blink
heavily. Here you press the
measurement button briefly
(1 second) for each of the six
measurements to obtain the
final IOP reading (see figure
left).
