Glaucoma services are overwhelmed and struggling to accommodate current demand. Reducing the need for hospital based services would improve our ability to see those most at risk of vision loss, which could both reduce demand and improve patient outcomes. Digital technologies that provide opportunities for home monitoring of glaucoma progression have potential to contribute to solve these challenges and, potentially, improve glaucoma care. This article will review the literatures of well-established technologies that support home monitoring for glaucoma, specifically home tonometry (with rebound tonometry) and perimetry with Moorfields Motion Displacement Test and Melbourne Rapid Field. 青光眼的医疗服务已不堪重负但仍难满足当前需求, 减少对医院诊疗的需求有利于我们诊治哪些高风险的视力丧失患者, 这既能减少对医疗资源的需求又能改善患者预后。数字技术能在家中监测青光眼的进展, 并且有利于目前所面临的挑战, 以及提高青光眼的护理水平。本文通过检索文献, 对家庭监测青光眼的成熟技术作简要综述, 特别着重强调两种家用仪器: 家用眼压计 (回弹式眼压计) 以及利用Moorfields运动位移测试 (MMDT) 以及墨尔本快速视野检测仪 (MRF) 。
