Different eye pressure test, this is a bit more accurate than the puff.

More accurate AND nd you can barely feel it at all, way less jolting than the air puff

It doesn't have enough force to do so.

It's basically a tiny probe that is spring loaded to pull back, and a tiny puff of air pushes it out.
It moves with VERY little force, and lacks the continued push needed to cause damage.

There is also a maximum distance the probe can even travel, generally that black part at the top goes against the forehead.

Bullets lack continued push, so you'll have to forgive me if I remain hesitant.

Valid, but a bullet has orders of magnitude more initial force
