Requirement of a stationary day and night measurement; statutory health insurance; verified and suspicion of glaucoma diagnosis with suspicion of pressure variations and peaks or not attained target pressure or suspicion of glaucoma progression (H40.1, H40.2 und H42.-); willingness for therapy in one of the participating cliinics; adequate German language skills; signed and dated informed consent for study participation and data transfer; legal capacity of the insurant to agree to the study participation
Patients outside the catchment area of the participating clinics; covering illnesses in psychiatry, neurology or other indications (e.g. impairment of independence) which make self-tonometry impossible; strong communication barriers that do not allow the instruction to carry out the intervention; unclear legal capacity of the potential study participants

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method umber of observed pressure peaks (>30% of the patient-specific target pressure). The intervention group measures its intraocular pressure itself for 7 days at 6 a.m., 8 a.m., 12 a.m., 4 p.m., 8 p.m. and 12 p.m. with a self-tonometer (iCareHOME). The intraocular pressure of the control group is measured by means of rebound tonometry or Goldmann applanation tonometry in a clinic for minimum 24 hours at the same times.
