New Tonometer DIATON Breaks Old Rules by Not Touching the Eye Ball to Measure Eye Pressure for Glaucoma Presented at ASCRS to 1000’s of Eye Doctors

Unique Tonometer Diaton is presented at ASCRS, Chicago by  BiCOM at booth # 474. This new wave of tonometry allows to measure IOP without influence of the cornea. Diaton tonometer is handheld, pen like ophthalmic tonometer to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) for glaucoma in children and adults.

Diaton Tonometer is the only non-corneal tonometer on the market – it provides reliable measurements and makes it possible to diagnose glaucoma in its early stages, allowing you to devise an appropriate care and treatment plan. Diaton is effective in obtaining IOP measurements for many challenging patient populations, including: those with chronic conjunctivitis, erosions, edema and corneal dimness; people who have undergone corneal surgeries; and immobilized patients and children. Also, patients do not need to remove their contact lenses.

 

Diaton Tonometry is a revolutionary approach to measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) THROUGH THE EYELID and OVER THE SCLERA – no contact with the cornea, no anesthesia or sterilization is required. BiCOM’s pen-like, hand-held, portable device is perfect for measuring eye pressure and helps ophthalmologists and optometrists in diagnosis and prevention of blindness caused by glaucoma. This ophthalmic device is irreplaceable for mass glaucoma screenings.

Diaton Tonometer is intended for use by Inpatient & Outpatient Clinics such as Hospitals, Emergency Rooms, Nursing & Elderly Homes, General & Specialty Practitioners as well as Ophthalmologists and Optometrists.

Glaucoma Eye Test through Eyelid supports National Glaucoma Awareness Month – BiCOM sets up Free Eye Exam Events

BiCOM Inc. global master dealer of Glaucoma Eye Test Diaton supports National Glaucoma Awareness Month. It is imperative to get regular eye pressure (IOP) screenings from your eye doctor. Vision loss caused by Glaucoma can be slowed or halted with the proper medication. Getting an eye pressure screening has never been easier or safer with painless through the eyelid Tonometer Diaton aka Glaucoma Eye Test.

Free Glaucoma Sreening event with Diaton tonometer Team

The start of a new year signifies a new beginning to most, many people making resolutions to better their lives. Improving health is usually a top priority – but, visual health is often overlooked. January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month, the perfect opportunity to learn about “the sneak thief of sight”. Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness globally, with 70 million people affected. Glaucoma is an eye disease that gradually makes your vision “close in” on you, starting with peripheral (side) vision. Many people do not realize they have a problem, until the disease has progressed dramatically. Regular eye examinations and eye pressure (IOP) screenings are the best way to diagnose Glaucoma in its earliest stages.

Tonometry (http://www.Tonometry.org ), or the measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP), lets physicians know whether you have elevated levels of pressure within your eyes which is a one of the most important factors of Glaucoma detection.

There are often no symptoms or pain associated with the onset of glaucoma.  As it progresses, a person may notice his or her side vision decreasing.  As the glaucoma worsens, the field of vision narrows and blindness may result.

Individuals at higher risk include African Americans over age 40; everyone over age 60, especially Mexican Americans; and people with a family history of glaucoma.

New technological breakthroughs allow pressure to be measured easier & safer than ever before. Diaton Tonometry is a unique approach with the device measuring IOP thought the upper eyelid, without need for eye drops, never touching the cornea, reducing risk of infection and allowing maximum comfort for the patient. Tonometer Diaton is ideal for mass screenings and many other situations where older methods of tonometry do not suffice. This new device can even be used in-home for any age group.

Glaucoma that goes undetected progresses rapidly, robbing one of their sight, independence and well-being. There are factors that play a role in who develops this disease such as age, race and genetics, but Glaucoma can affect everyone from babies to the elderly. 20 percent of adults have never visited an eye doctor, and more than 60 percent of respondents thought that glaucoma was preventable, according to the American Optometric Association’s (AOA) American Eye-Q™ survey.

Educational/Awareness campaigns have been launched by BiCOM Inc., the global distributor of transpalpebral Tonometer Diaton (http://www.GlaucomaEyeTest.com), with successful results. This is the key to fighting this disease – education and ease of getting IOP screened.

 

EyeCare America’s 7,000 Ophthalmologists Providing FREE Eye Exams in Honor of Glaucoma Awareness Month in January. To find out if you are eligible to receive a referral for an eye exam those interested should call 1-800-391-EYES (3937).

Unique Tonometry Through Eyelid Tonometer Diaton Presented at MEDICA The Largest Healthcare Exhibition In The World

With glaucoma blinding millions throughout the world, BiCOM’s innovative through the Eyelid diagnostic tonometer Diaton is presented at MEDICA, world’s largest medical device exhibition.  Diaton tonometers allow to early glaucoma diagnoses by obtaining intraocular pressure (IOP) over the eyelid and over sclera, not through cornea as earlier devices…..

Diaton Tonometry is a revolutionary Non-Corneal approach to measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) THROUGH THE EYELID and over Sclera – no contact with the cornea, no anesthesia or sterilization is required. BiCOM’s pen-like, hand-held, portable device is perfect for measuring eye pressure and helps ophthalmologists and optometrists in diagnosis and prevention of blindness caused by glaucoma. This ophthalmic device is irreplaceable for mass glaucoma screenings.

Unlike Goldmann tonometry which is based on the Imbert–Fick law and is effected by CCT and other corneal parameters and corneal diseases, where small area of the membrane is flattened to measure pressure of the internal fluid.  Evidence shows that variations in CCT may greatly influence Goldmann tonometry reading.  Parameters such as membrane elasticity, rigidity and other biomechanical properties can influence the accuracy of the intraocular pressure readings.

Diaton tonometry solves most of the corneal issues by implementing Newton’s Second Law and a Ballistic principle to obtain IOP.  Readings with Diaton Tonometer are taken over the upper eyelid, at the tarsus and over the sclera, not the cornea.

Recent clinical study “Comparison of Accuracy of Diaton Transpalpebral Tonometer Versus Goldmann Applanation Tonometer, Dynamic Contour Tonometer and Ocular Response Analyzer “ concluded:  “Transpalpebral Tonometry is an accurate method of  IOP measurement that is also independent from the biomechanical characteristics of cornea.  It can be recommended for IOP measurements of patients diagnosed with glaucoma including those cases where cornea pathology or cornea characteristics have been altered”.

Tonometer Diaton is the solution in the following cases when the use of other devices is problematic or impossible:

* Mass screening of patients.

* IOP control during clinical observation and selection of adequate hypotensive therapy for glaucoma patients.

* Serial tonometry for obtaining Diurinal curve.

* IOP can be obtained without removing contact lenses.

* IOP measuring in immobilized patients – measurement can be done sitting or supine.

* IOP measuring in children. Measurement is taken outside of the visual field.

* Patients with the following conditions: chronic conjunctivitis, corneal pathology including keratitis, keratotone, corneal dimness, after penetrating keratoplastics, keratoprosthesis, laser refractive correction, high degree of ametropy, astigmatism.

* On patients with medicinal allergies.

* Lasik / LASEK / PRK (Diaton can be used for IOP measurement right after these surgeries)

Diaton tonometer is a perfect device for early diagnosis of glaucoma in primary eye care, pediatric optometry and is a must have for any ophthalmic surgery practice.
