Abstract
Purpose
To investigate the agreement between the ICare HOME tonometer and the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT) in assessing the peak intraocular pressure (IOP) during the water-drinking test (WDT).
Design
Prospective cross-sectional study.
Subjects
Seventy-nine eyes of 41 open-angle glaucoma patients were included in the study.
Methods
All of the included patients underwent a training session provided by ophthalmologist specialists to use the ICare HOME tonometer. Then the IOP was first measured with the GAT (AT900; Haag-Streit) by a trained physician, immediately followed by ICare HOME tonometer (TA022, ICare Oy) measurement by the patient. Four measurements were taken with each device with 15-minute differences as established by the WDT.
Main Outcome Measures
The agreement and degree of correlation of the peak IOP by both tonometers were assessed.
Results
The agreement between the ICare HOME and GAT was high during the WDT: the intraclass correlation coefficient (r) between the 2 methods from basal to 45 minutes: 0.94 (P < 0.001), at basal: 0.91 (P < 0.001), at 15 minutes: 0.94 (P < 0.001), at 30 minutes: 0.94 (P < 0.001), at 45 minutes: 0.95 (P < 0.001), and for peak IOP: 0.94 (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference between peak IOP with the GAT and ICare HOME (18.3 ± 4.6 [10–33] and 18.5 ± 5.0 [0–33], respectively, P = 0.533), nor between the delta of fluctuation between basal and peak IOP with the GAT and ICare HOME (3.96 ± 3.22 and 4.54 ± 3.92, P = 0.054).
Conclusions
Our study demonstrated a high agreement between the ICare HOME and the GAT during the WDT in a clinical environment with supervision.
