Aplanation tonometry shouldn't result in any form for visual impairment. It remains the gold standard in the industry. Non-contact tonometry (puff of air test) is convenient but not as reliable. You had a better test, (possibly conducted by a poorer practitioner, although this is the Internet so...)
Interesting, thanks! Definitely started the moment I had the test, so I guess it was the practitioner… to think I’ve been telling the wrong story (or the right story from the wrong angle) all these years.

Edit. Or fluorescein minim? Either way.
