Glaucoma is diagnosed with a tonometer that measures pressure within the eyeball. There are three types of tonometers: one blows a puff of air onto the eyeball and uses the indentation as a gauge of pressure. Another tonometer presses a small, flat disk against the eyeball to register pressure. The veterinarian may put a drop of anesthetic in the eye first. The third method, called Mueller, is electronic. To use any of these methods, your veterinarian may place the pet on its back, which often allows the eye to open more easily.
