Description

PRECISION ENGINEERING

Discover the reliability of a Keeler Applanation Tonometer (KAT); a Goldmann applanation tonometer designed and handmade in the UK by our team of ophthalmic instrument specialists.

Our analogue GAT range uses the Goldmann method of measuring intraocular pressure (IOP), which is to calculate the force required to flatten (applanate) a constant area (3.06mm) of the cornea to aide in the diagnosis of glaucoma.

Keeler applanation tonometers (KATs) are a versatile measurement device for a wide variety of lower and tower illumination style slit lamps.
