Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Medical Technology
Patient Education

Background:

Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a key modifiable risk factor in glaucoma progression.
The Icare HOME self-tonometer enables patients to monitor diurnal IOP, providing a comprehensive view of their condition.
Effective patient education is crucial for successful home IOP monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the feasibility of teaching glaucoma patients to perform self-tonometry remotely using a video link.
To assess patient acceptance and success rates of remote self-tonometry training.

Main Methods:

A prospective study involving 12 glaucoma patients.
Remote, live video training sessions (30 minutes) were conducted using the Icare HOME rebound tonometer.
Optometrist-observed remote IOP measurements and post-training questionnaires were utilized.

Main Results:

83% (10 of 12) of participants successfully obtained diurnal IOP measurements at home.
All participants reported satisfaction with remote teaching and expressed interest in continuing home IOP monitoring.
Success rates for remote teaching were comparable to previously reported face-to-face training outcomes.

Conclusions:

Remote teaching via video link is a feasible method for training glaucoma patients in home self-tonometry.
Patients are receptive to remote training platforms, indicating a potential shift in how home monitoring skills are acquired.
This approach supports enhanced patient engagement and adherence in managing glaucoma through consistent IOP monitoring.
