PURPOSE: To determine agreement between diurnal variation testing (DVT) of intraocular pressure (IOP) with Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and iCare HOME (IH) by an optometrist (OP) and home monitoring by participants (PT). METHODS: Patients (18-80 years) with glaucoma and suspects were enrolled. IH IOP and GAT were taken by an OP at 2 h intervals from 8 AM to 4 PM on Day 1 and PT between 6 AM and 9 PM, for the next 2 days. IOP, date, and time were viewed via iCare LINK software. RESULTS: IN TOTAL,: 72.9. (: 51/70) PT trained were able to take reliable readings. One hundred two eyes (51 patients, age 53 ± 16 yrs) were analyzed. Correlation between optometrist (OP) and participants (PT) was strong and positive {IH OP-IH PT- r = 0.90, p-0.0001;IH PT-GAT- r = 0.79, p-0.0001}. Agreement by Bland Altman plots was limited {IH OP-IH PT mean 0.1 mmHg (95% LOA -5.3 to 5.5), IH PT-GAT 2.2 mmHg (-5.7 to 10.1)}. Intraclass correlation coefficient for IH OP-IH PT was 1.18 (95% CI 1.37-1.09). Intradevice {0.95 (95% CI 0.94-0.97)} and interrater repeatability {0.91 (0.79-0.96)} were good. 37% of eyes had a synchronous peak on GAT and IH during the day DVT. CONCLUSION: Home tonometry by iCare HOME is easy, feasible, but due to limited agreement cannot substitute GAT DVT.
