Precision of the Icare200 for Measuring Intraocular Pressure

France171 participantsStarted 2021-12-01

Plain-language summary

In adult patients, intraocular pression readings are often taken with an air puff tonometer or goldmann tonometer. The current gold standard for IOP measurement is the Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT). In some patients, measurement of intraocular pressure taken by applanation or by air puff may prove to be impossible for various reasons (obesity, handicap, mental disorder, blindness for Air Puff Tonometry, Anxiety, etc). There are also many other devices that can be used to measure IOP, including those using rebound tonometry like the Icare 200. The rebound tonometer would systematize IOP screening because of its ease of use, provided its measurements are reliable. In this prospective study, investigators will be measuring participant's IOP with Goldmann Applanation Tonometry, Icare 200 Tonometer and Air Puff Tonometry to see if there is an agreement in IOP between the different devices. Investigators will also look if there is a concordance between central corneal thickness and IOP. Moreover, investigators will look if there is a IOP concordance between the 3 different devices for hight BMI people. Indeed, higher body mass index tend to have difficulties with proper positioning at the slit lamp that may lead to inaccurate GAT measurements. Additionally, stress level of the patients with different tonometry devices will be recorded using a visual analog scale.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
