BENEFITS
You can take measurements of your eye pressure
at various times during the day and night with the
Icare HOME tonometer. These measurements taken
outside your office visits may help your doctor
determine whether you have glaucoma or have
a better understanding of your glaucoma, if you
already have a glaucoma diagnosis.
RISKS
You are likely not eligible for use of the HOME
tonometer if you:
• Have poor uncorrected near vision
• Have only one working eye
• Have poor or off-center visual fixation
• Have poor hearing without an aid and/or
communicate using sign language
• Use contact lens
• Have dry eyes
• Have Keratoconus (a corneal disorder)
• Have a congenitally (from birth) small eye
• Have an enlarged eye from childhood glaucoma
• Had a cataract removed within last 2 months
The safety and effectiveness of the Icare HOME
tonometer has not been evaluated for patients
with:
• High corneal astigmatism
• History of prior invasive glaucoma surgery or
corneal surgery including corneal laser surgery
(for example, LASIK)
• Corneal scarring
• Very thick or very thin corneas
• Patients for whom there is already difficulty in
obtaining clinical IOP measurements (for
example, due to eyelid squeezing
or tremor)
