MyEYES continually strives to update our patients on the latest information regarding Glaucoma. This article about self-tonometry could be a potential game changer for the Eye Industry, especially the Glaucoma Specialists, in how they view their patients’ IOP fluctuations and the importance of capturing that vital data 24/7. Thus, it could influence their treatment protocols and the patients’ treatment paths to help preserve as much of their site as possible. – C S Epperson, MyEYES.
Conclusion from the article:
Self-tonometry provides IOP data that supplements in-clinic tonometry and would not be detectable over daytime in-clinic diurnal curves.

Our mission is to make it easier to get home tonometers into hands of the people who need it. In this way, IOP data collected over the span of a week or two at several time points during the day and or night can help to direct an individual patients’ doctors to provide the ideal treatment for that patient’s tailored need. The result: the most effective way to proactively slow the damaging and blinding progression of this horrible disease.
