Evaluation of rebound tonometry in red‐eared slider turtles (Trachemys scripta elegans)

Abstract: Objective To evaluate feasibility and accuracy of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement by rebound tonometry in adult red-eared slider turtles and determine the effects of manual and chemical restraint on IOP. Animal studied Seventeen adult red-eared slider turtles. Procedures IOP was measured with TonoLab® and TonoVet® tonometers in conscious, unrestrained turtles. To evaluate the effects of manual restraint, turtles were restrained by digital pressure on the rostral head or proximal neck. The effect of … Show more

“…Some available studies with reptile species also report normal ophthalmic parameters and selected clinical tests . Normal values for rebound tonometry and tear production have been reported for red‐eared slider turtles. The objective of this study was to report ocular morphological observations and to perform ophthalmic tests to establish a panel of normal parameters for the red‐eared turtle.…”

“…Several studies on various species have validated the use of the Tonovet through correlation with manometry, [18][19][20][21][22] but no rebound tonometer has been validated in an anuran species. Cannizzo et al 11 created calibration curves for both Tonovet and TonoLab in American Bullfrogs, but neither tonometer produced IOP readings that matched the manometer.…”
