The feasibility of the American Optical Non‐Contact Tonometer as an instrument for tonography was assessed. It was found that after 20 measurements in quick succession, there was a statistically insignificant change in IOP. Multiple intraocular pressure (IOP) readings with this instrument are helpful in determining an abnormally high IOP from an aberrant recording.
