portable tonometers

Interested in Buying/Sharing a Tonometer together?

I'm new to FitEyes.  For a little over a year I've been diagnosed with normal-tension glaucoma with central vision loss in one eye.  Like so many others I would like to do self-tonometry but can't afford the $3,000 or so to buy a tonometer.

I've been thinking about getting together with someone else, or a couple of others, to buy and share one--say, to use on alternate weeks, or months, or however else agreed upon.  Or perhaps there is someone out there already with a portable machine willing to share it (and who wants to recoup some of the purchase cost).
