Icare® USER TESTIMONIALS - MD´s NORT H AME RI C A Dr. Sanjay Asrani, MD, Duke Eye Center, Raleigh, NC, USA “I feel that the Icare® is very easy to use and handle and so do my technicians.

Icare® USER TESTIMONIALS - MD´s I use Icare® in my daily work at hospital.

The device is small and easy to take to hospital ward consultations when IOP can be measured at the bedside.

I have also successfully used a derivate of this...

In addition, at each Opening Eyes event we find that all of our doctors really love it....
