The puff test is a non-contact tonometry test that puffs a small burst of air into your eye. The air bounces back to the tonometer and gives the machine a reading of your eye’s intraocular pressure (IOP), or pressure inside the eye. As the patient stares at a light inside the machine, a small burst of air is “puffed” into each open eye. Although this might be a little uncomfortable and unnerving, it’s not painful; nothing but the puff of air touches the eye.
