Tonometry: Lɛ wi tɔk bɔt dis simpul wan!

Yu dɔn ɛva du ɛgzam fɔ yu yay? We yu du dat, sɔntɛm yu bin gɛt tɛst usay dɛn bin gi yu wan smɔl winda we gɛt briz ɔ wan smɔl inschrumɛnt fɔ luk yu yay. Na dat wi kin kɔl tonometry bɔku tɛm. Dis na rili impɔtant tɛst , mɔ fɔ no kwik kwik wan pan ay kɔndishɔn lɛk glaukoma. So, lɛ wi tɔk bɔt dis smɔl mɔ tide, nɔto so?

Wetin na tonomɛtri? Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan...

Tonometry na spɛshal ay tɛst we de mɛzhɔ di prɛshɔn we de insay yu yay, we dɛn kɔl intraocular pressure . I tan lɛk se yu de chɛk yu blɔd prɛshɔn, bɔt na fɔ yu yay nɔmɔ. Na wan pan di impɔtant tɛst dɛm fɔ no if yu gɛt glaukoma. Bɔku we dɛn de fɔ du dis tɛst. Dɛn ɔl kin kwik ɛn dɛn nɔ kin fil pen.

Naw lɛ wi si wetin na di difrɛn we dɛn fɔ du dis tɛst.

Wetin na di difrɛn we dɛn fɔ yuz tonomɛtri?

Yu ay spɛshal dɔktɔ kin yuz sɔm we dɛn fɔ du dis tɛst:

• Aplaneshɔn tonomɛtri: ."Applaneshɔn" min "fɔ flat." We dɛn de du dis, dɛn kin prɛs wan smɔl tin we tan lɛk disk we flat jisnɔ pan yu yay.
