Feather like touch to the eye. What is the texture of the device that touches the eye then? OK, let's say I touched the device with my finger. What would it feel like?
Had this test during my dr visit today. Didn’t like it. I felt a little pain after the test even my doctor said it was fine. Still not happy with it….. they didn’t inform me ahead of time they were gonna measure my eyeball pressure. I would totally skip it if I knew it. I only went to see the doctor for vision check. not gonna go back to this clinic anymore
It happened the same to me. All of sudden he put the lights off and did it without explaining that something was gonna touch my eye. I felt it and had discomfort after... Not happy
I can’t do this. To close to my eye. I don’t want to be put to sleep just to have this done 🙄 My doc need to upgrade his to this one. The smaller one he has doesn’t work well. He’s to slow.
any iCare users who can help decide which one to purchase for self checks? Home 1, 2 or IC100? I'd be buying in EU, want something with minimal service and results right away (not through PC)
@Glock369 in most cases of ocular hypertension only 10% develop Glaucoma but keep in mind elevated IOP could be due to Thick cornea. So IOP of 21mmHg for long term with thin cornea that cause Glaucoma since the IOP reading is not accurate and could be higher.
@@Psychiatry.321Rubbish. You dont what you’re talking about. Cant stand people like you scaring people for no reason. 17-21 is normal. Even if the reading was above normal it doesn’t mean you have glaucoma. Loads of people have raised pressures all their lives. They can have a thick cornea for example.
be polite, 21 mm Hg Borderline eye pressure and that could be due to thick cornea which gives false high reading using tonometer, pachymetry will check for corneal thickness and see if the high during due to corneal thickness otherwise the eye doctor will monitor the patient for Normal-tension glaucoma suspect. ocular Hypertension could lead to Glaucoma especially if the patient is 40+ years old @@henrysmith883
The tonometer they have in most eye dr. office’s where you lean in your forehead and chin rest into and with use of eye drops actually touches the eye ball do I have that correct? And after the test then they use alcohol pads to clean the lens that goes into your eyes. I don’t know if that’s enough to protect against all viruses and bacteria? I think some doctors offices need a protocol that says if a patient comes in complaining of red eye infection or herpes Symplex should not get a glaucoma test.I like this machine because it look like it didn’t touch the eyeball. A one time use disposable tip should be recommended for every eye Dr. office.👁❤️
I just went for an eye test recently and feel like I was part of the cast of the Minority Report. This tool concerned me after the test as the optician appeared to pop something off the end into what looked like a sharps bin. Anyone know what the hell this is? I've slowed it down and see short Lazer type beams entering the eye
What you see moving at the front of this device is not a laser, it is a small probe. A magnet within the handheld portion holds it in place and moves it in and out very quickly. They are disposable after use!
