Reproducibility of consecutive automated telemetric noctodiurnal IOP profiles as determined by an intraocular implant.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring in glaucoma management is evolving with novel devices. We investigated the reproducibility of 24 hour profiles on two consecutive days and after 30 days of self-measurements via telemetric IOP monitoring.

Methods

Seven primary patients with open-angle glaucoma previously implanted with a telemetric IOP sensor in one eye underwent automatic measurements throughout 24 hours on two consecutive days ('day 1' and 'day 2'). Patients wore an antenna adjacent to the study eye connected to a reader device to record IOP every 5 min. Also, self-measurements in six of seven patients were collected for a period of 30 days. Analysis included calculation of hourly averages to correlate time-pairs of day 1 versus day 2 and the self-measuremen
