 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"
