Non-Contact Tonometer CT-80

Discover the TOPCON CT-80 Computerized Tonometer: Speed, Precision, and Comfort

The TOPCON CT-80 Computerized Tonometer is the ideal solution for eye care professionals seeking a high-performing, precise, and fast non-contact tonometry device. Designed to minimize patient discomfort and optimize examination time, the CT-80 combines advanced technologies with exceptional ease of use. This article provides a detailed overview of the features and benefits of the TOPCON CT-80.

Fast and Easy Measurements

The TOPCON CT-80 stands out for its ability to perform quick and precise measurements. With a new alignment bar and improved air cylinder, the interval between measurements has been reduced by over 30%. This speed allows patients to spend less time in examination, improving their comfort. Once alignment is complete, the data is automatically measured and displayed, simplifying the operator’s work.

3D Automatic Alignment (CT-80A Model)

The CT-80A model is equipped with a 3D automatic alignment system that offers easy operation and fast measurements, even for patients with fixation difficulties. By holding the button, the tonometer continues to track and adjust automatically, ensuring precise measurements. This feature is particularly useful for patients whose eyes move frequently or blink often.

Flex Control Function (CT-80A Model)

The Flex control function, exclusive to the CT-80A model, allows the operator to choose the perfect timing for the measurement, minimizing patient discomfort. This feature is very beneficial for difficult patients, ensuring precise and comfortable measurements.
Safety and Precision

Triple Safety Function

The CT-80 and CT-80A feature an innovative triple safety function. Firstly, the operator can set an adjustable safety stopper. Secondly, a “too close” display on the monitor guides the user during alignment. Thirdly, an audible warning informs the operator if the cornea and the instrument are too close, preventing any risk of injury.

Dual Sensor System

The CT-80 uses an original measurement method with two sensors: one for light and one for pressure. When an air puff flattens the cornea, a light sensor detects the moment of flattening, while another sensor monitors the internal chamber to obtain the intraocular pressure. This advanced calculation system allows highly precise measurement data without being influenced by atmospheric pressure, altitude, or any potential mechanical degradation.

Measurement Options :

Position A and B

The CT-80 offers two measurement positions:

Position A: Uses low pressure to flatten the cornea, suitable for most patients.
Position B: Uses higher pressure to flatten the cornea, necessary for patients with high intraocular pressure values.

Practical Features :

Built-in Self-diagnostic

The CT-80 informs the operator when maintenance is needed, displaying a warning message on the monitor if a lens is dirty, specifying which one (measurement glass or chamber glass).

High-speed Built-in Printer

With a simple press of a button, the CT-80 provides high-speed printouts of measured data in a few seconds. Up to three individual measurements plus an averaged value can be printed, facilitating documentation and result analysis.

Optional Manual Mode

The CT-80 can also be operated in fully manual mode, allowing the operator to override automatic settings for specific situations requiring manual intervention.

Internal Fixation Target

Infrared lighting provides the main illumination for the CT-80, eliminating the need for harsh alignment lighting and improving patient comfort.
