The tonometer is the correct answer because it is an instrument designed to measure the pressure inside the eye, referred to as intraocular pressure, which is important for diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma. An otoscope is used to look into the ears; an ophthalmoscope is used to examine the retina and other parts of the eye; and a sphygmomanometer is used to measure arterial blood pressure.
