Home Tonometry With the I-care Tonometer for Glaucoma

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The overall objective of the study is to scope the self-management for self-monitoring glaucoma using home tonometry.

Clinical Trial Description

Monitoring of glaucoma requires frequent evaluation of IOP and disease severity, typically with visual field tests. When a patient is diagnosed with glaucoma an optimum level of IOP (or target IOP) is determined based on patient's characteristics, such as severity of disease and life expectancy. In current models of care patients have their IOP measured at the clinic at different intervals. If the IOP is noted to be high, or above the patient's target, additional treatment is recommended. Accurate and frequent IOP measurements at different points in time are thus imperative.

Tonometry is usually conducted by clinicians in an eye clinic. Some tonometers (e.g., Icare) have the potential to be used by the individual for home monitoring of IOP for patients with suspected glaucoma/glaucoma. Self-monitoring of IOP via home tonometry will allow patients to undergo IOP measurements at different points in time (e.g., early morning and night-time, and it can help determine diurnal changes and spikes).

The overall objective of the current study is to conduct a feasibility pilot study on the home tonometer (Icare), acquiring initial experience with the Icare tonometer. For this purpose investigators will train up to 20 individuals on how to use the device. Investigators will ask them to record in a diary their IOP twice a day for a period of 2 weeks. Investigators will then compare IOP outcomes with the measurement taken at the clinic. Patients and clinicians will be masked to the IOP data. ;
