iCare HOME

iCare HOME is a small, handheld medical device designed for people to measure the pressure inside their eyes by themselves. It uses a gentle, quick measurement method that does not require numbing drops, and it records the pressure value for later review. The device is intended for use outside the clinic so users can take readings at different times of day and during normal activities, capturing natural fluctuations that a single clinic measurement might miss. Results are stored on the device or can be shared with a clinician, creating a pattern of measurements over days or weeks. This pattern helps clinicians understand how eye pressure changes throughout the day and whether treatments are working. The device matters because more frequent, real-world measurements can improve treatment decisions and help detect changes earlier. People usually need brief training and practice to get consistent, reliable readings, and some may find positioning or comfort challenging. There are also considerations like the cost of the device, the need for occasional maintenance or calibration, and how data are transmitted and protected. For many users, however, it offers a practical way to be more involved in monitoring their eye health between clinic visits.
