Description:

The Topcon CT-80 Computerized Tonometer is a non-contact, air-puff tonometer that pairs a dual-sensor (light + pressure) system with motorised X-, Y- and Z-axis alignment to capture intra-ocular pressure automatically or via joystick trigger. A TV-style monitor displays alignment cues and readings, while triple-safety logic (audible “too-close” alarm, onscreen warning and adjustable stopper) protects the cornea. A built-in thermal printer outputs up to three measurements and an average per eye, and an RS-232C port streams data to EMR systems. The instrument’s auto-shut-off 80 VA power draw, self-check lens contamination alert and 30 % faster inter-measurement interval reduce operating costs and downtime in high-throughput clinics.

Economic Advantage:

By eliminating tonometer tips, topical anesthetics and manual applanation, the CT-80 cuts per-patient consumables and cross-infection risk. Automatic alignment and rapid air pulses move patients through pre-test in seconds, freeing staff time and chair space, while the compact 40 lb chassis and universal 100-240 V supply let practices deploy a single unit across multiple lanes without dedicated plumbing or sterilisation hardware. Integrated printing and self-diagnostics further lower ownership cost by avoiding external printers and annual calibration contracts.
