A non-contact type tonometer includes a compressed air blowing unit which compresses air in a cylinder by means of a piston disposed within the cylinder and blows the compressed air to a cornea of an examinee's eye; a driving unit which drives the piston; a pressure sensor which detects pressure of the air in the cylinder; an optical system which projects light to the cornea; a photosensor which detects, of the light projected by the optical system, reflection light reflected from the cornea; and a controller which obtains a change in pressure for a predetermined time based on a detection result by the pressure sensor when the photosensor detects a predetermined change amount of the reflection light after the driving unit drives the piston to start blowing of the compressed air to the cornea from the compressed air blowing unit, and changes a timing of stopping supply of driving power to the driving unit based on the obtained change in pressure.
