After tonometry, the following steps are usually taken:
Review and interpret the IOP readings. Further diagnostic tests if abnormal IOP is detected. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments to assess eye health and IOP.
In summary, tonometry is a crucial diagnostic tool in pediatric ophthalmology that helps in the early detection and management of glaucoma and other ocular conditions. Careful consideration of the method used, preparation, and follow-up are essential to ensure accuracy and minimize discomfort for pediatric patients.
