The Inami Mod-R Applanation Tonometer operates according to the 'Goldmann method', by measuring intraocular pressure from the force required to flatten (applanate) a constant area of the cornea.
​
The R-Type model, which fits most slit lamps and uses applanation prisms,  ‘swings in’ and can be permanently left mounted on the post that fits to the eyepiece assembly.​
