My Daily IOP Data Includes Every Measurement

My overall daily averages for today are:

Left 16.1; Right 18.3 (differential 2.2)

Here are today's individual IOP values. Unfortunately, not all the comments are available. This was a typical day where I worked at the computer and took some breaks to play with my dog for about 10 minutes each time. When the original comments are not available (which is not often), I am not going to insert comments after the fact. The data I present is not filter or touched up in any way.

This presents an opportunity for me to explain something about the data underlying each of the values you see in the table below. No individual measurements are discarded. That's why the standard deviations reported are sometimes large. We feel that such information might have value from a data mining perspective, so we retain it. If it needs to be filtered as part of a future analysis, we can always do that -- when there are good statistical reasons for it. But the point I want to make is that the data is always presented as it was collected and it is not manipulated in any way. This includes the fact that comments are never added after the fact. If we don't include a comment when the data is collected, then no comment is available.

It has been four days since I used Timoptic in my right eye. The differential between my eyes is increasing a little each day. I should have used Timoptic tonight, but instead I used Xalatan in each eye again. I'll use Timoptic in my right eye tomorrow night.
