Abstract

Purpose: To describe twelve cases in which home intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring complimented clinical decision-making in glaucoma management. Observations: Home IOP monitoring elucidated peaks and amplitudes of variation that were not captured by in-clinic IOP measurements during the pre- or post-interventional period. Conclusions & Importance: Home monitoring can establish pre-treatment IOP patterns that are not evident during in-clinic measurements. Home monitoring can also demonstrate response to treatment more quickly than in-clinic monitoring, and provide more information about nyctohemoral fluctuations than is ascertained by in-clinic tonometry.
