The present invention relates to a device for measuring intraocular pressure, commonly known as a glucometer or tonometer, comprising a series of sensors which, using the Hall effect, measure intraocular pressure and can determine if the value obtained and measured in mmHg (millimeters of mercury) exceeds a given threshold, thereby indicating if the patient has glaucoma and if immediate treatment is required. The device is advantageous in that it is completely portable, sealed, requires no calibration or maintenance, and includes a commercial battery. As a result, the device can be used by any individual without any medical training and can alert the user of a vision condition, thereby preventing loss of vision by giving the user time to consult a specialist.
