Why Vets Love iCare TONOVET Plus for Dog Eye Health
/
In veterinary medicine, having the right tools can elevate the standard of care, especially for delicate conditions like eye health.
Imagine this scenario…
A 7-year-old German Shepherd is brought to your clinic showing signs of distress: squinting, redness, and discomfort in one eye. The owner reports that the dog was fine yesterday but began pawing at its face this morning.
Without an intraocular pressure (IOP) reading, you’re faced with several potential diagnoses:
- Uveitis
- Glaucoma
- Corneal ulcer
- Conjunctivitis
With the diagnosis unclear, time is of the essence to prevent delays that could jeopardize your patient’s vision.
The iCare TONOVET Plus tonometer is a game-changer, enabling fast, accurate, and stress-free IOP measurements for both patients and veterinary professionals.
User-Friendly Design
The TONOVET Plus is designed for ease of use, making it accessible for both experienced ophthalmologists and general practitioners.
Its intuitive interface features a large, clear display and red/green positioning lights to guide proper alignment with the cornea, ensuring precise readings with minimal effort. The automatic measuring sequence allows for single readings or a series of six measurements with just one button press.
Gentle and Comfortable for Patients
Utilizing a rebound measuring principle, the TONOVET Plus uses a lightweight probe that briefly contacts the cornea. This gentle method eliminates the need for topical anesthesia and typically avoids triggering a corneal reflex, ensuring a comfortable experience for the patient.
Versatile Across Species
One of the standout features of the TONOVET Plus is its species-specific calibration settings for dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses. This ensures accurate IOP measurements tailored to each species’ unique anatomy, making it an invaluable tool for diverse veterinary practices.
Portability for Mobile Veterinarians
For veterinarians working across multiple locations or providing mobile services, the TONOVET Plus is highly portable. It comes with a durable aluminum carrying case, and its compact, battery-operated design allows for high-quality ophthalmic assessments anywhere.
Comprehensive Package
The TONOVET Plus package includes everything you need to get started:
- TONOVET Plus device
- 100 single-use probes
- Aluminum carrying case
- Probe base cleaning container
- IOP pad and probe base collar (standard and narrow)

This all-in-one kit equips veterinary teams to begin using the device right away.
Back to That German Shepherd…
With the TONOVET Plus, your technician can quickly and gently obtain an accurate IOP reading in under a minute—no topical anesthetic required. If the pressure is elevated, you can start treatment immediately and refer to a specialist if necessary.
Having a reliable IOP measurement on the spot boosts diagnostic confidence, guides treatment decisions, and, most importantly, helps preserve your patient’s vision.
