Grateful for Dave and self-tonometry!

Hello Members,

I have had my Reichert AT555 for two days now and taken taken quite a number of readings. Though my IOP does fluctuate, which I did understand is expected, I have seen much lower pressures than I thought I would! My opthalmologist's target pressure for me was 25 on Xalatan. I had frequent pressures of 30+ in his office but much lower numbers in my optometrists office (my friend). During the past two days I have seen only 1 average of 32 in 1 eye, and the majority of the time the IOP is mid 20s or lower (this is off medication). I have been off the Xalatan for the past month. Of course, now that I see my IOP can be even lower than his target of 25, I plan to work on obtaining this on a consistant basis (off medications).
