 I had an interesting experience last night while taking my IOP. My measurements were in the low 20's for the first 5 readings, (3 on the right and 2 on the left) before the total was averaged. Just as I was pressing the button to take the last reading for my left eye, my husband called to tell me there was an ambulance at his niece's house across the road. That reading was {30}. We could see that her child was being taken on the stretcher, but he was alert and looked good.

Can anyone explain to me how to save each IOP data collected for the day? I have had to save all the data at the end of the day because I have not been able to get the Serial Watcher program to add the newest data to that saved earlier in the day. It does not seem to work like Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Is there a way to save data each time it is collected, under the same file name?

I want to be certain that I understand the AT555 readings when I take my pressures. I always do 3 readings per eye so the device can calculate the average. Then I use the average number as my IOP for that time. Sometimes, I get asterisks and brackets (fliers) so I continue testing that eye until I have 3 clean numbers. Then I use the average of those numbers. 

Hello Everyone,

Hello Members,

Hi,

I understand that the AT555 should be connected to the computer for data collection. I do not work out of my home, so I am away from home, at my office most of the day. What is recommended for data collection in a case like this? I do have a computer at work and at home, but it would be difficult to transport the tonometer to and from work every day, making the computer connections, etc. How do others handle situations like this?
