Yes, although that test is automated and typically done by a technician not an optometrist. You can train someone to use one of these machines in a few hours. If this was a key test no reason we couldn’t just put one in every GP office and have eye pressure checked during an annual checkup.
- InvertedRhodium 5y ago> annual checkup We're supposed to go EVERY YEAR?
- throwawayboise 5y agoLOL I know. I haven't been for a "checkup" in close to 30 years.
- RHSeeger 5y agoThose machines cost money and require some amount of training to use. Having them in an office that specializes in using them makes sense. Having your GP have every type of machine for every types of checkup (eyes, ears, CAT, MRI, etc... all things that _could_ be at the GP, but aren't) would not be cost efficient.
