Description
iCare HOME tonometer for self-monitoring of IOP
The iCare HOME tonometer is the first device available to patients for measuring intraocular pressure at home. iCare HOME provides an extensive and accurate view to the patient’s diurnal IOPs for the eye doctor adding value to glaucoma management. For the patient iCare HOME provides peace of mind and improves compliance to taking glaucoma medication.
“The difference between readings we obtain in the office and the data from the Icare HOME is like the difference between a single snapshot and a continuous movie of a patient’s daily life.” – Iqbal Ike K. Ahmed, MD, FRCSC, Mapping diurnal IOP fluctuations at home, insert to Glaucoma Today, September/October 2018
Glaucoma patients or those who are suspected of developing glaucoma can measure IOP themselves during normal daily activities throughout the day as advised by their doctor. Measurement results are uploaded to a cloud database from where they are accessible both to the doctor and the patient. Comprehensive IOP data facilitates high-quality care and can mean long-term cost savings.
iCare HOME is comfortable and easy to use, guiding the patient to make high-quality measurements every time. The device is lightweight and, thanks to a custom-designed case, easy to carry around. The ease of use, accuracy and reliability of the iCare HOME tonometer has been shown in numerous clinical studies.
As for all iCare tonometers, measuring requires no anesthesia, drops, air or other preparation.
