How to best determine if your eye pressure is acceptable during the day

One of the hardest questions patients with glaucoma face is how is their eye pressure doing. 

Now machines can be rented from your eyeMD to check your eye pressure at home for a few days. 

Home iCare is a good brand and gives us crucial information: not only if the eye pressure is going above normal (usually 21mmHg) or “target,” but also if the diurnal fluctuation is higher than desired. 

Authors McGlumphy et. al. present such data in Ophthalmology Glaucoma this month.
