Glaucoma Home Testing

Right next to the sugar-testing meter and the pregnacy-test kit, the home of tomorrow could have a glaucoma testing device, says MedicalNewsToday. "Cumbersome glaucoma tests that require a visit to the ophthalmologist could soon be history thanks to a home test developed by a UA engineer. The self-test instrument has been designed in Eniko Enikov's lab at the UA College of Engineering. Gone are the eye drops and need for a sterilized sensor. In their place is an easy-to-use probe that gently rubs the eyelid and can be used at home."
