5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Home tonometry allows for more comprehensive IOP monitoring, capturing fluctuations that may be missed during clinic visits.

• 2

  The iCare Home2 device is FDA approved for self-measurement and offers features like supine position measurement and mobile app integration.

• 3

  Home tonometry can enhance patient engagement and adherence to treatment by allowing patients to actively monitor their IOP.

• 4

  Despite its benefits, home tonometry faces limitations such as cost, the need for dexterity, and potential anxiety from frequent measurements.

• 5

  Alternative methods, like the water drinking test, can provide estimates of peak IOP for patients unable to perform home tonometry.
