INTRODUCTION

The Icare HOME tonometer is a hand-held device for self-use. The great
advantage is that a topical anesthetic is not needed.
The tonometer uses the rebound method. A small and light single-use
probe makes contact with the eye very briefly. The tonometer measures the
deceleration of the probe and the rebound time, and calculates the IOP from
these parameters.
A measurement sequence includes six measurements. The probe moves
to the cornea and back during every measurement. As a result, after the
six measurements the tonometer calculates the final IOP and stores it with
other information in the tonometer's memory, including date, time, eye
identification (right or left) and measurement quality.
The Icare HOME tonometer can record over one thousand measurement
results. You can copy the recorded measurement information to a PC through
a USB cable for management of your glaucoma patients.
