FitEyes Insight is an application to help people understand their eye pressure. FitEyes Insight is designed for use by people measuring their eye pressure at home (a process called self-tonometry). The typical user of FitEyes Insight is a glaucoma patient or glaucoma suspect. Join our group of individuals monitoring their eye pressure at home. We may be able to help you get a very large discount on a home monitoring device (tonometer) as well as a free lifetime membership to FitEyes Insight to help you and your doctor gain valuable new insights about your vision. The FitEyes approach is based on self-tonometry and self-insight. This is a practical, realistic approach to a better life and better vision based on a foundation of having better data. The FitEyes Insight application and the website are all about this data-oriented approach to improving the management of eye pressure (intraocular pressure). Intraocular pressure remains the most important risk factor for glaucoma and it is the focus of all currently approved medical therapies for glaucoma. Leading glaucoma expert Dr. Robert Ritch says: “ Self-monitoring is a core tenet of management of numerous medical conditions. For instance, most physicians treating diabetes want to know details of how a patient's blood sugar responds to diet and activities throughout the normal course of daily life.” In fact, home monitoring of blood sugar in diabetics has revolutionized medical care in that field and has resulted in greatly improved quality of life and lifespan for diabetics. FitEyes is pioneering the same approach in the areas of vision health that are currently the world's leading causes of preventable blindness. Self-tonometry is the process of measuring your eye pressure yourself, usually at home. Through this scientific, objective, data-driven approach to understanding glaucoma, it is possible to revolutionize your approach -- not only your approach to glaucoma, but your approach to your entire life. Self-insight comes, in part, from measuring for yourself and seeing evidence in the form of objective data, the profound ways in which your own activities (and even your own thoughts and emotions) significantly affect your intraocular pressure. Home eye pressure monitoring opens the door to totally new and innovative ways of managing glaucoma and intraocular pressure. It can also open your heart to new truths because the eye really is the window to something very deep. Millions of people around the world should be monitoring their eye pressure (intraocular pressure) at home, according to health organizations (such as International Society for Self-Tonometry (ISST)) that are issuing recommendations on what to do and how to do it. Many experts, such as Dr. Graham Lee, feel the evidence is quite strong that home eye pressure monitoring leads to better control of intraocular pressure, and the evidence is quite strong that intraocular pressure control lowers the risk of glaucoma progression and optic nerve cell death. Home eye pressure monitoring also gives patients the physiologic feedback they need to see to understand how their daily activities and their stress levels affect eye pressure. The FitEyes Insight application and website make all these advantages accessible to you. You will need a tonometer and the OK from your eye doctor to start. The FitEyes Insight application is available for free when you acquire your tonometer through FitEyes.com. |
