Storage of Prism and Tonometer

The doubling prism must always be removed from the tonometer, cleaned following the
cleaning instructions supplied with the prisms and inserted, cone downward, into the hole in
the foam interior of the carrying case (Fig 14, 3). The tonometer should then be returned to
the carrying case.
Do not pack the Perkins tonometer with the prism still in the instrument.
Never store the instrument with the spring under load - i.e. return the milled thumb-wheel
to below zero.
The suppliers cannot accept responsibility for the performance, reliability or safety of this
