Testimonials

At Fiteyes, we believe that the greatest wisdom concerning our management of glaucoma, is found in the feedback which we receive from our practice of self tonometry. This is especially true because all of us are different, and while there are many commonalities in the ways which our eye pressures react to internal states and outside influences, there can also be a great amount of individual variance. Most people who begin self tonometry have found the practice to be extremely valuable in the management of their disease, and in providing valuable feedback for their doctor. However, there can be pitfalls and learning curves in getting the most from the tonometer. Therefore, we have included experiences from some of our Fiteyes tonometry community below.

The Pulsair-Keeler non-contact tonometer in self-tonometry: preliminary results.

EDITOR: this is a very old study. The tonometer discussed here (the original Keeler Pulsair) is no longer manufactured. The current Keeler Pulsair models do not work for self-tonometry due to design changes.
