iCare IC100
Handheld rebound tonometer for measuring intraocular pressure in seated or standing patients without anesthetic drops, air, or calibration.
Overview
The IC100 uses iCare's rebound measuring principle: a lightweight single-use probe contacts the cornea briefly, and iCare describes the measurement as painless and hygienic without local anesthetic. An advanced positioning assistant shows a red or green light at the probe base to confirm alignment, and iCare states the instrument requires only minimal training. It suits routine exams, screening days, and workflows where speed and patient comfort matter.

Single or rapid six-measurement series from one button
Positioning assistant with red and green alignment lights at the probe base
Single-use iCare TP01 probes, individually packed to prevent cross-contamination

Why rebound tonometry changes the exam
Applanation requires anesthetic drops and a skilled operator. Some patients dislike air-puff testing. Rebound tonometry avoids the air puff and does not require anesthetic drops, and iCare states the IC100 requires only minimal training, so more of your team can take a reading. That widens who can measure IOP in your office and when.
Who this is a good fit for
If none of these describe your practice, it is probably not the right choice, and we will tell you that.
Practices moving away from air-puff or applanation tonometry
High-volume screening where technicians take most measurements
Pediatric and anxious patients, where avoiding drops and air puff helps
Offices that want a portable tonometer that moves between lanes
What to ask on a demo
A demo is worth more when you arrive with your own cases and a list of questions. Here is what we would raise.
- Have your technicians take a few readings and compare them against your current method
- Ask about per-measurement probe cost and how probes are ordered
- Try the positioning lights with a staff member who has never used one
- Compare it side by side with the IC200 if you also see patients supine
