Using Icare HOME tonometry for follow-up of patients with open-angle glaucoma before and after selective laser trabeculoplasty.IMPORTANCE
 To evaluate the role of Icare HOME tonometry in open-angle glaucoma patients being treated with SLT.


 The use of Icare HOME in following up patients post-laser trabeculoplasty without the need for clinic attendance.


 Icare HOME recorded a significant reduction of 5.12 mmHg in the mean IOP post-SLT (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.75-6.50 mmHg, P < .001).  No adverse effects for using the Icare HOME were reported by the study participants.

 To evaluate the role of Icare HOME tonometry in open-angle glaucoma patients being treated with SLT.


 IOP was measured four times a day for a week before and after SLT.  On the day of SLT, the patients were required to measure the IOP in the evening to record any IOP spikes.


 Icare HOME recorded a significant reduction of 5.12 mmHg in the mean IOP post-SLT (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.75-6.50 mmHg, P < .001).  The maximum IOP was also reduced by 6.14 mmHg (95% CI 3.07-9.21, P < .001) with no IOP spikes recorded post-SLT.  There was a reduction in IOP fluctuation post-SLT by 1.07 mmHg (95% CI 0.24-1.89 mmHg, P = .021).
