ICare Self-tonometry - A Head-to-head Comparison to the Gold Standard Goldmann Tonometer

ICare Self-tonometry - A Head-to-head Comparison to the Gold Standard Goldmann Tonometer

The purpose of this study is to compare glaucoma patients' own I Care measurements by the standard Goldmann applanation tonometer intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements.

not necessary

Inclusion Criteria:

• Ocular hypertension (OHT):with/without glaucoma drugs
• Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG)- high pressure: Diagnosis based on optic nerve head rim loss and/or visual field defects and intraocular pressure (IOP) >21 mmHg.
• Primary open angle glaucoma, normal pressure: cfr high pressure but intraocular pressure ≤ 21 mmHg
• Exfoliative Glaucoma (PEX): Diagnosis based on optic nerve head rim loss and/or visual field defects and intraocular pressure (IOP) >21 mmHg, with exfoliation material in the anterior segment.
• Pigmentary Glaucoma (PDG): Diagnosis based on optic nerve head rim loss and/or visual field defects and intraocular pressure (IOP) >21 mmHg, with Krukenberg's spindle and/or pigment dispersed on the trabecular meshwork.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Age <18 years
