I hate the air puff thing. Is it necessary?

Although it’s unpleasant, the air-puff test is one of several tests that can be used to measure eye pressure – an important part of an eye exam that helps the optometrist determine your risk of developing glaucoma. If you cannot manage this test, talk to your optometrist about other ways to measure your eye pressure.
