Shin-Nippon Tonometer SNT-1

This used Shin-Nippon SNT-1 is a non-contact tonometer used to measure intraocular pressure as part of routine ophthalmic examination and glaucoma screening. The device employs an air-puff method to assess corneal response and calculate pressure, avoiding the need for anesthetic drops or direct probe contact with the eye. Its straightforward alignment and readout system make it accessible for technicians conducting high volumes of patient pretesting. Because elevated intraocular pressure is a key indicator in glaucoma risk assessment, tonometers like the SNT-1 are relied upon daily in optometry and ophthalmology practices to flag patients who need further evaluation. The non-contact design minimizes patient anxiety compared to applanation methods, which can be especially helpful when screening children or anxious adults. This unit integrates well into standard pretesting lanes alongside autorefractors, keratometers, and other diagnostic instruments. This pre-owned Shin-Nippon SNT-1 is being offered in working condition, suitable for practices that want a dependable, budget-conscious non-contact tonometer for everyday clinical use in glaucoma screening and general eye pressure monitoring.
