I hope it clears up and you wont need the opthamologist
Similar thing is used on dogs, "tonometry": Tonometry in Dogs - Page 1

It used mainly to test for glaucoma, but pressure highs and lows can arise from trauma and other eye ailments.

I had no idea that they use this method for humans...and I thought the "puff" test was bad. That thing makes me jump every time.
