Home Tonometry With the I-care Tonometer for Glaucoma

NCT02656836 | Completed Results

• 1 other identifier: REC 15/EM/0217
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 20
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The overall objective of the study is to scope the self-management for self-monitoring glaucoma using home tonometry.

Conditions

Glaucoma

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Intraocular Pressure

  Intraocular pressure in mmHg units, obtained by tonometers. The investigators will determine agreement of intraocular pressure (IOP) measured using the home tonometer (patient) compared with IOP measured in the clinic.

  Two weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Proportion of Patients Able and Willing to Use the Tonometer

  Two weeks

• Proportion of Patients With an Adverse Event

  One month

Interventions

Home tonometry, diagnostic study OTHER

Evaluating intraocular pressure

Also known as: I-care tonometer

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Adults with glaucoma attending clinic

You may qualify if:

• Attending the glaucoma clinic for monitoring (for glaucoma or ocular hypertension)
• Aged 18 years or over
• Patient deemed able to monitor their IOP at home (by themselves or a helper)

You may not qualify if:

• Not receiving IOP monitoring (for glaucoma or ocular hypertension)
• Aged \<18 years
• Patients deemed unable to monitor their IOP at home (and do not have someone who can help them) e.g., apparent physical or cognitive impairments that will not allow for the use of a home tonometer
• Had surgery for their glaucoma (glaucoma surgery only; other surgeries included e.g., cataract surgery)
• Patient has preexisting corneal disease
