You can do this at home using a Tonometer.
At most, you may feel the Tonometer probe tickle your eyelashes.
The Icare Home Tonometer lets you measure your eye pressure at home.
It is completely painless, and the Tonometer does not touch your eye.
Another type of glaucoma test
is performed with an instrument called an applanation Tonometer.
The test is completely painless, and the Tonometer does not touch your eye.
It is a common choice for those who need a more portable Tonometer.
During routine eye exams, a Tonometer is used to measure your intraocular pressure, or IOP.
During routine eye tests, a Tonometer is used to determine your intraocular pressure, or IOP.
During routine comprehensive eye exams, a Tonometer is used to measure your intraocular pressure, or IOP.
In medical practice,
it is believed that the pressure is increased when the Tonometer is 130-139 at 85-89.
The home Tonometer takes six rapid IOP measurements,
then calculates eye pressure, and stores it in the device's memory.
May 2017- The FDA-approved Icare Home Tonometer is now available in the United States
for people who need to closely monitor their intraocular pressure(IOP).
The Tonometer is known to everyone,
and the patients themselves use it actively, but if the prevalence of the Tonometer was the same as that of a pulse oximeter, then the frequency of detecting hypertension would be many times lower.
The doctor is always“armed” with a stethoscope and Tonometer at the reception or during the examination of the patient,
but it is good to have a portable pulse oximeter with you, because the definition of saturation is of great importance for a wide range of patients with pathology of the heart, lungs, blood system.
The development of modern medical technologies and the emergence of devices available to a wide range of patients help in the early diagnosis of many dangerous diseases, and the use of portable pulse oximeters is already a reality in developed countries, which is gradually coming to us, so I would like to hope that soon pulse oximetry
will be the same common as the use of a Tonometer, blood glucose meter or thermometer.
