Looking for an affordable NC tonometer in Italy or Europe

Submitted by glammer on Sat, 05/25/2013 - 11:00pm

Hi to all,

I'm an italian guy (33 year old) diagnosed with evolved pigmentary glaucoma in the right eye. I've already lost about my 34% of visual field there, and I'm scared as hell to become half blind in the future. I thnk that self tonometry is one of the very important things I can do to prevent that, to fight back, I mean. But here, seems impossible to find an affordable non-contact tonometer.

AT550

 Just saw a used AT550 on ebay.  I wanted to ask a couple of questions.  I read some past posts that suggested that the AT550 wasn't good for self-tonometry.........why is this??  Sounds like you just look at something, push a button, and it takes the measurement.  Sounds fairly user-friendly.  Also, if I were to buy a used instrument, how much do you think it would cost?  How much are one of these new??  Thanks for your answers on this one.
