How low can we get? Tonometry in the Thomson gazelle (Gazella thomsoni)
Purpose: To establish a normal reference range of intraocular pressure estimates in
Thomson gazelles (Gazella thomsoni). Materials and Methods: Applanation tonometry was
conducted in 22 eyes of 11 gazelles anesthetized for transportation purposes with a mixture
of etorphine hydrochloride and acepromazine maleate. Five sequential readings using a
Tono-Pen XL (Mentor Ophthalmics, Inc., Norwell, MA) were obtained from each eye. Results
were analyzed for the effect of age, weight, gender, side, and replicate readings and were …
