Icare rebound tonometer has proven itself to be a valid, fast, and mobile device. Although, Icare probes have been indicated for single use only, many healthcare practitioners in the community reuse Icare probes after disinfected them with alcohol, since reusing probes could greatly reduce the cost of Icare tonometer ultilization. Even though study shows that Icare probes can be reused without compromising patient safety, only one report has been published in regards of the validity of Icare Re
