Role of home monitoring with iCare ONE rebound tonometer in glaucoma patients management

To evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements and fluctuations using the iCare ONE rebound tonometer (RT-ONE), during home monitoring, in diagnosed and suspected glaucoma patients. A retrospective case series of consecutive patients with known glaucoma or glaucoma suspects who were followed-up and treated between January 2016 and January 2017. The study included 80 eyes of 40 patients with a mean age of 59.1±14.6y (range, 24-78). All patients have undergone 4-5d of IOP home monitoring with RT-ONE at morning, noon, afternoon, and night time. Baseline mean IOP, as measured in the clinic (8 -12 ), was 17.4±5.1 mm Hg, compared to RT-ONE home monitoring mean IOP of 15.6±4.1 mm Hg ( =0.002). Mean IOP was significantly lower at noon, afternoon and night times compared to clinic measured IOP and morning measurements ( =0.005). IOP peak measured during home monitoring was significantly higher compared to the clinic measured IOP (21.3±5.6 mm Hg and 17.4±5.1 mm Hg,
