TonoVera Device Accuracy for Glaucoma
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
We are testing the accuracy of Reichert's Tono-Vera tonometer by comparing measurements of IOP with this device and measurements with other commonly-used tonometers, including Goldmann Applanation and iCare.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems focused on eye measurements, so it's unlikely that your medications would be affected, but you should confirm with the study team.
What data supports the effectiveness of the TonoVera Device Accuracy for Glaucoma treatment?
The research suggests that various tonometers, including those similar to the Tono-Vera, are effective in measuring intraocular pressure (IOP), which is crucial for diagnosing and managing glaucoma. Studies have shown that these devices are accurate and reliable, making them useful tools in glaucoma treatment.12345
Is the TonoVera device safe for use in humans?
The studies reviewed focus on the accuracy and reliability of various tonometry devices, including the TonoVera, for measuring eye pressure, but they do not report any specific safety concerns for humans. These devices are generally used in clinical settings and have been evaluated for their effectiveness in measuring eye pressure, which is a common and safe procedure.15678
How is the Tono-Vera tonometer treatment different from other glaucoma treatments?
The Tono-Vera tonometer is unique because it is a device used to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye, which is crucial for managing glaucoma. Unlike traditional methods like the Goldmann applanation tonometer, the Tono-Vera may offer a more convenient or accurate way to monitor IOP, potentially improving patient care.157910
Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for men and women aged 18 to 99 in good health who can consent to the study's procedures. It's not for those under 18, unable or unwilling to consent, with significant scleral thinning, allergies to eye measurement anesthetics, or conditions preventing accurate tonometry.Inclusion Criteria
