Testimonials

As an ophthalmologist in a high-volume clinic, the new iCare ST500 rebound tonometer has become an invaluable asset in my daily practice. This device allows for quick and accurate measurement of intraocular pressure without the need for anesthesia or air puffs, significantly enhancing patient comfort. It delivers consistent and reliable readings within seconds, even for anxious or uncooperative patients.

The iCare ST500’s ease of use and intuitive interface streamline our workflow, reducing bottlenecks and improving clinic efficiency. I can confidently assess intraocular pressure during routine exams and glaucoma follow-ups, saving time without sacrificing precision.”

The iCare ST500 has greatly enhanced my ability to provide high-quality care in a fast-paced clinical environment. Its portability and speed are particularly beneficial during busy sessions, where every minute counts.

My staff checks the IOP of the patients while they wait in the waiting room. This saves me a couple of minutes per patient. When you see more than 30 patients a day, that’s at least an hour of my time saved.

Rebound tonometry is a great alternative to the Goldmann applanation tonometer in both screening and follow-up of glaucoma patients. It is a very reliable technology with a wide range of clinical applications and its use has become widespread in our practices.

As early adopters of Icare technology, we have many years of experience with the devices. The ic100 has been a wonderful advancement.  The added features that assist the operator with proper alignment ensures the measurements are repeatable and accurate. It is a true timesaver that provides us with measurements we can trust.

In patients with glaucoma, there is a possibility of their eye pressure either fluctuating significantly or being outside the target range (as determined by their doctor). Both these changes are associated with worsening of glaucoma. Monitoring for these changes between office visits can help reassure the doctor and the patient that the therapy is adequate and that the patient is compliant with treatment. If the eye pressure is not stable, then the doctor can recommend additional treatment or tailor the eye drop regimen to stabilize the pressure before permanent loss of tissue or visual field occurs.

In patients with suspected glaucoma, daily intraocular pressure monitoring is also essential. In a high proportion of these patients, IOP elevations may be missed during regular scheduled examinations. Knowing these pres- sure peaks exist can help control the disease and person- alize and optimize the treatment regimen. Autotonometry is an efficient option for this purpose, as well as being comfortable for the patient.

iCare HOME is a game changer in the way we manage glaucoma.

The ability for patients to measure their own IOP has the potential to transform glaucoma care. By using home monitoring, we can obtain far more IOP measurements to more accurately identify peak IOP and gain greater appreciation of IOP fluctuations. Most patients find iCare HOME easy to use and as IOP measurements can be uploaded to the cloud, the clinician can view results remotely. In my practice, the introduction of iCare HOME has allowed us to move away from office-hour IOP phasing and has provided improved insight into IOP as a risk factor for glaucoma progression.

In our study, the Icare ic200 overestimated the IOP. The overestimation increased as the baseline IOP increased. The agreement between the IOP measurement by GAT and Icare ic200 was <2 mm Hg at all ranges of IOP. The narrow limits of agreement between the tonometers for an IOP <21 mm Hg makes it a useful alternative to GAT in this pressure range.

There was excellent agreement between the IC200 and GAT tonometers, both in healthy subjects and PCG, with a trend to overestimate IOP when measured with IC200. There was no influence by CCT on IOP measurements in patients with PGC.
