Thousands of optometrists and other healthcare professionals now have an option of measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) THROUGH EYELID with Diaton tonometer, with no effect on the eye. Quick and painless, handheld Diaton pen-like tonometer readings are not affected by contact lenses or other corneal properties.

Tonometer Diaton Non-Corneal Glaucoma Eye Test

BiCOM Inc., home of tonometer Diaton is proud to present this unique optometric tonometry device to battle glaucoma, the second leading treatable cause of blindness in the United States.  Glaucoma is a condition in which deterioration of the optic nerve leads to progressive loss of field of vision in patients of all ages.

Diaton tonometer is a clinically proven method of non-invasive (no contact with cornea) and non-corneal tonometry, where glaucoma IOP eye test is done over the upper eyelid, at tarsal plate and more importantly over sclera, eliminating effect of biomechanical properties of the corena.

Although Goldmann applanation tonometry still considers to be the gold standard for measuring IOP, it is not fool proof – “Each eye and more importantly, the cornea is different, where various corneal biomechanical parameters such as corneal thickness, rigidity, previous corneal surgeries or LASIK, conditions such as corneal edema influence Goldman readings as well as TonoPen, Airpuff, NCT…etc.,  – in other words all the other corneal or cornea influenced methods of tonometry. Diaton tonometer takes cornea out of the equation and provides IOP results independent of corneal properties.” – said Roman Iospa, CEO of BiCOM Inc.,

Multiple clinical studies comparing Diaton and other tonometers were conducted by reputable institutions and doctors.  “It works,” said Dr. Mark Latina, glaucoma specialist and the inventor of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT), after revealing results of the study titled: “Accuracy of Transpalpebral Tonometer Diaton Compared to Goldmann Applanation Tonometer in Normal and Glaucomatous Eyes”

Diaton tonometer is the only Non-corneal and over the eyelid tonometer on the market, the results are independent of corneal biomechanics such as corneal thickness (CCT), crookedness, other biomechanical properties where intraocular pressure can be obtained in patients still wearing contact lenses. In addition, non-invasive tonometry technique eliminates the risk of infecting or scratching the cornea and it does not need to be sterilized and is perfect for use in remote locations as well as for mass glaucoma screenings.  Diaton can be used repeatedly during the day with no effect on the eye.

BiCOM Inc. covers the full scope of customer service, which involves client training, follow ups, hotline support, sales support, etc. More information on Diaton tonometer, including clinical trials data and demo video can be found at http://www.TonometerDiaton.com or by calling BiCOM Inc., at the Toll Free number 1-877-diatons (877-342-8667).

Diaton tonometer is delivered complete with training Video/DVD describing full procedure step-by-step, battery, calibration plate, carry case in addition to the Test/Training Eye™ which is included with each unit.

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 and diabetes.

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. For more info visit: http://www.TonometerDiaton.com

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.

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.

Diaton Tonometer is showcased at AAO Booth #307.
