self monitor with hand held tonometer is an option?

I read that hand held tonometer (and training) is available with a prescription.  I asked and so far 0.  Can anyone point me to the right direction to make it possible?

No the medical journals are talking about home monitoring of IOP but I have not used it and suspect there will be problems with insurance coverage.
