Abstract
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 a.m.-12 p.m.), was 17.4±5.1 mm Hg, compared to RT-ONE home monitoring mean IOP of 15.6±4.1 mm Hg (P=0.002). Mean IOP was significantly lower at noon, afternoon and night times compared to clinic measured IOP and morning measurements (P=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, P<0.001). IOP peaks during home monitoring demonstrated a majority of 47 peaks during morning measurements, compared to 23 at noon, 19 at afternoon and only 12 at night (P<0.001). The home monitoring results led to treatment modification of 44 eyes (55%), treatment regime was insufficient for 40 (50%) eyes. Home monitoring IOP with RT-ONE can provide good assessment of mean IOP, IOP fluctuations and peaks throughout the hours of the day, which lead to an accurate treatment for glaucoma patients.
