The TP03 Disposable Tonometer Probe is a sterile, single-use rebound tonometry probe designed for the iCare PRO handheld tonometer. Supplied 100 probes to a box, each TP03 probe gives a clean, uncontaminated contact point for fast intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, without anaesthetic drops, calibration, or sterilisation between patients.
The iCare PRO is a portable, handheld rebound tonometer that can measure IOP in any patient position, sitting, lying down, or reclined, which makes the TP03 probe a core consumable for hospital wards, low vision clinics, paediatric ophthalmology, and mobile vision screening.Â
The TP03 is a different part number to this site’s TP01 probe (used on iCare IC100, IC200 and TA01i) and the TVP01 probe (used on the iCare TonoVet veterinary range), see the fit section below to confirm which probe matches your device.

Why This Disposable Tonometer Probe Matters
Accurate intraocular pressure measurement is central to detecting and managing glaucoma and other eye conditions. The TP03 Disposable Tonometer Probe keeps every reading hygienic and consistent, which matters most in settings where patients cannot easily sit at a slit lamp.
Unlike reusable probes, sterile disposable TP03 probes remove cross-contamination risk between patients and eliminate cleaning or sterilisation downtime, making them the practical choice for hospitals, low vision services, and outreach screening teams using the iCare PRO device.
Key Features of the TP03 iCare PRO Probe
Precision Rebound Design

- Compact packaging for easy clinic storage
Fits These Models
The TP03 probe is designed for the iCare PRO handheld rebound tonometer. If your device is an iCare IC100, IC200 or TA01i, use the site’s TP01 disposable tonometer probe instead. If your device is an iCare TonoVet (TV01, TV011, TV012, TV031), use the TVP01 disposable tonometer probe.
Benefits of Using TP03 Probes
Enhanced Patient Safety
A fresh TP03 probe for every patient gives a sterile contact point on every measurement, reducing the risk of cross-infection between consultations.
Faster Clinical Workflow
- No sterilisation cycle between patients
- Quicker turnaround during busy clinics and ward rounds
- Simple, grab-and-go probe changes
Reliable, Consistent Readings
- Stable rebound characteristics probe to probe
- Supports reliable IOP trend tracking over repeat visits
- Bulk packaging keeps per-test cost down
Use Cases & Applications
Hospital Wards & Bedside Screening
The iCare PRO measures IOP with the patient sitting, lying down or reclined, useful for bedridden or post-operative patients who cannot sit at a slit lamp.
Low Vision & Paediatric Ophthalmology
A fast, drop-free measurement suits paediatric patients, low vision clinics and patients who find traditional tonometry difficult to tolerate.
Ophthalmology & Optometry Clinics
Routine glaucoma screening, post-operative monitoring and general eye pressure checks in day-to-day clinical practice.
Mobile & Outreach Vision Screening
Lightweight, sterilisation-free probes suit portable screening programs and clinics operating outside a fixed exam room.
How Rebound Tonometry Works
The TP03 probe operates on rebound tonometry technology: the probe briefly and gently touches the cornea, then rebounds. The connected iCare PRO device measures the deceleration and contact time of that rebound to calculate intraocular pressure.
Key Advantages of Rebound Technology
- Typically no topical anaesthetic required
- Minimal patient discomfort
- Fast reading time, suited to patients who struggle to hold still
Storage, Handling & Best Practice
- Store the sealed box in a clean, dry environment away from moisture
- Use one new probe per patient, per eye where required by protocol
- Avoid touching the probe tip before use
- Dispose of each probe immediately after use
- Follow your iCare PRO device manufacturer’s operating guidelines
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the TP03 probe used for?
It is a disposable, sterile probe used with the iCare PRO handheld tonometer to measure intraocular pressure (IOP).
Which iCare tonometer is the TP03 probe fits?
The TP03 is designed for the iCare PRO handheld rebound tonometer.
Is the TP03 the same as the TP01 probe?
No. TP03 is the probe for the iCare PRO handheld device. This site’s separate TP01 probe covers the IC100, IC200 and TA01i tonometers, and the TVP01 probe covers the TonoVet veterinary range.
Can the TP03 probe be reused?
No. It is a single-use probe intended for one measurement session, then disposal.
How many probes are in one box?
Each box contains 100 disposable TP03 probes.
Do these probes need calibration before use?
No. TP03 probes are ready to use straight from the box once fitted to a supported iCare PRO device.
Is anaesthetic needed when using the TP03 probe?
Rebound tonometry with the TP03 probe typically does not require topical anaesthetic, though this can depend on the patient and clinic protocol.
How should I store TP03 probes?
Keep the box sealed in a clean, dry area until use, and avoid exposing probes to moisture or contamination before fitting.
What positions can the iCare PRO tonometer be used in?
The iCare PRO is designed to take readings with the patient sitting, lying down or reclined, which is useful for patients who cannot sit upright at a slit lamp.
