A tonometer is the instrument used to measure intraocular pressure, which is important in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma. The other options (A, B, and D) are used for different aspects of eye assessment, such as testing visual acuity (Snellen chart), examining the retina and optic nerve (ophthalmoscope), and testing pupillary response (penlight).
