BiCOM Inc Transpalpebral DIATON Tonometer at the American Academy of Ophthalmology AAO 2014 , Chicago
BiCOM Inc to feature transpalpebral Diaton tonometer at the American Academy of Ophthalmology, AAO 2014. Transpalpebral Diaton tonometer is the world's only non-corneal and non-contact tonometer used through the eyelid to quickly and painlessly determine intraocular pressure without directly touching the cornea or requiring use of topical anesthesia. Diaton tonometer is particularly useful in cases where standard direct applanation (corneal) tonometry is difficult or not viable, such as with pediatric patients, in presence of certain corneal pathology, edema, infection, following corneal surgery, KPro and in cases of eye trauma. Diaton tonometry demo and training sessions available at Exhibit #526
Emil W. Chynn, MD, FASC stated, – "As a Cornea-Refractive trained specialist, I encounter many situations where Goldmann readings are inherently inaccurate–like post-LASIK, in cases of corneal edema, scarring, post-keratoprosthesis or transplant. In such cases, it's both invaluable and reassuring to have the Diaton device available to measure IOP that's independent of corneal pathology"

is Your Non-corneal SOLUTION!
Major Benefits of Diaton Tonometer:
- No contact with the cornea (only upper eyelid & over sclera)
- No anesthesia drops
- No risk of infecting or scratching cornea
- No consumables (no need to purchase replacement tips/covers..etc.,)
- No sterilization
- No pachymetry needed (no need to adjust readings for CCT and other corneal properties)
- No daily calibration needed
- Can be used sitting or supine
- Can be used post-op and with corneal pathologies
