Eye Pressure Check (NCT)
Intraocular pressure—the fluid pressure inside the eye—is one of the key measurements in detecting glaucoma, a condition that can silently damage the optic nerve before any vision loss is noticed. A Non-Contact Tonometer (NCT) measures this pressure with a quick puff of air, without needing numbing drops, making it a comfortable first-line screening test.
What this includes
Our approach to eye pressure check (nct)
- Quick pressure measurement using a puff of air
- No numbing drops required for the test
- Useful screening for glaucoma risk, especially with age, diabetes or family history
- Results reviewed alongside optic nerve and visual field assessment when needed
- Recommended as part of a routine comprehensive eye check-up
What to expect at your visit
- A brief test lasting only a few seconds per eye
- A slight puff of air felt on the eye, with no pain
- Pressure readings explained in the context of your overall eye health
- Further testing arranged if the reading needs closer evaluation
