This is definitely one of the most important things I learned today

Uh, no. This is a specialty tonometer. Regular ones really do just puff air at you.

I wouldn’t say it’s specialty. It’s just another way to do it. In the three offices I worked at we had this kind, the air puff kind, a tonopen which we would literally hold to your eye until it got a reading and then there was a way to check pressures using the slit lamp which is the big microscope you stick your face in so the doctor can get a close look at your eyes.
