glaucoma test
Eye pressure screening
A glaucoma test is a medical examination that measures pressure inside the eye to detect glaucoma, a condition where elevated pressure damages the optic nerve and can cause blindness.
The most common version uses a puff of air directed at the eye: I hate the glaucoma test—that air puff always makes me flinch.
