A member asked:
Like gonioscopy, opthalmoscopy, and tonometry hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They Do not hurt: Gonioscopy, ophthalmoscopy and tonometry are all part of a complete eye examination and generally do not hurt. Topical anesthetic drops are instilled in the eye at the beginning of the examination. While the bright light of ophthalmoscopy may be briefly uncomfortable, it is generally not painful.
