Using Icare HOME tonometry for follow-up of patients with open-angle glaucoma before and after selective laser trabeculoplasty

Abstract Importance: Monitoring the results of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) on intraocular pressure (IOP) using a home rebound tonometry. Background: To evaluate the role of Icare HOME tonometry in open-angle glaucoma patients being treated with SLT. Design: A clinic-based prospective case study. Participants: Fourteen eyes from 14 patients diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma were recruited. […]

Self-measurement with Icare HOME tonometer, patients' feasibility and acceptability

Abstract Purpose: To evaluate and compare the accuracy of self-measurement of intraocular pressure using Icare Home rebound tonometer with Goldmann applanation tonometer and assess acceptability of self-tonometry in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Methods: In the study, 117 subjects were trained to use Icare Home for self-measurement. Icare Home tonometer readings were compared with […]

Comparison of Disposable Goldmann Applanation Tonometer, ICare ic100, and Tonopen XL to Standards of Care Goldmann Nondisposable Applanation Tonometer for Measuring Intraocular Pressure

Abstract Purpose: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), disposable Goldmann applanation prism, ICare, and Tonopen. Materials and methods: A total of 74 patients with varying glaucoma status were examined in our outpatient clinic and IOP was measured with 3 tonometers. The disposable Tonojet prism (dGAT), Tonopen XL, and ICare ic100 […]

Comparison of the Intraocular Pressure Measured Using the New Rebound Tonometer Icare ic100 and Icare TA01i or Goldmann Applanation Tonometer

Abstract Purpose: We evaluated the agreement between the intraocular pressure (IOP) values of new rebound tonometer, Icare ic100, and Icare TA01i or Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT). Methods: We studied one eye each of 106 subjects (57 with primary open-angle glaucoma, 49 healthy subjects). IOP was randomly measured twice with the patient in sitting position using […]

iCare rebound tonometers: review of their characteristics and ease of use

Abstract The rebound tonometer has a unique mechanism for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) and has become popular worldwide due to its ease of use. The most notable advantages are the lack of an air-puff and need for topical anesthesia, ease of operation and transport, and the ability to use it with children. Four rebound tonometers […]

Diurnal Intraocular Pressure Fluctuations with Self-tonometry in Glaucoma Patients and Suspects: A Clinical Trial

Abstract Significance: This article shows that self-tonometry can provide robust measures of diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) and also detect changes to IOP in response to treatment within a short period of monitoring. These advances in IOP monitoring may contribute to improved management of glaucoma patients and suspects. Purpose: The aim of this study was to […]

Fiabilité et reproductibilité des mesures de la pression intraoculaire par le tonomètre Icare® Home (modèle TA022) et comparaison avec les mesures au tonomètre à aplanation de Goldmann chez des patients glaucomateux [Reliability and reproducibility of introcular pressure (IOP) measurement with the Icare® Home rebound tonometer (model TA022) and comparison with Goldmann applanation tonometer in glaucoma patients].

Abstract Purpose: The Icare® Home tonometer is a new rebound tonometer, developed for intraocular pressure (IOP) self-monitoring. The main objective of our study was to evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of measurements taken with the Icare® Home tonometer in glaucoma patients compared to the Goldmann applanation tonometer. A secondary objective was to investigate factors that […]

Measurement of Intraocular Pressure by Patients With Glaucoma

Abstract Importance: The ability of patients to measure their own intraocular pressure (IOP) would allow more frequent measurements and better appreciation of peak IOP and IOP fluctuation. Objective: To examine whether patients with glaucoma can perform self-tonometry using a rebound tonometer and examine patient acceptability. Design, setting, and participants: An observational study in which IOP […]

Evaluation of a New Rebound Self-tonometer, Icare HOME: Comparison With Goldmann Applanation Tonometer

Abstract Purpose: To compare measurements from an Icare HOME rebound self-tonometer compared with those from a Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT). Materials and methods: A total of 130 subjects with suspected or confirmed glaucoma in our outpatient clinic were examined. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured using both an Icare HOME unit, by an ophthalmologist and by […]

Monitoring daily intraocular pressure fluctuations with self-tonometry in healthy subjects

Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of the intraocular pressure (IOP) measured by healthy subjects with icare® Home and to observe the IOP fluctuation and pattern of IOP fluctuation in healthy subjects over three consecutive days. Methods: Sixty healthy subjects were recruited to the study. IOP was measured by the subjects themselves and by study […]
