  • Pigmentary Glaucoma (PDG): Diagnosis based on optic nerve head rim loss and/or visual field defects and intraocular pressure (IOP) >21 mmHg, with Krukenberg's spindle and/or pigment dispersed on the trabecular meshwork.

Exclusion Criteria

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Intra-ocular pressure with Home ICare and Goldmann Applanation Tonometer.

Time Frame: immediate comparison, no time frame required

Patients eye pressure measurement with both devices. 1. Home ICare measurement by study nurse compared to Home ICare by patient compared to Goldmann ATO by study nurse (once for every patient) 2. 4 times daily: measurement Goldmann ATO (by resident in ophthalmology) and home Icare (by patient)on same moment

Secondary Outcomes

  • Patient Comfort(1 day hospitalisation)
