Diaton’s Innovative Digital Tonometer Revolutionizes IOP Measurement
In the realm of IOP (Intraocular Pressure) measurement, the Diaton digital tonometer emerges as a game-changer IOP THROUGH EYELID. Traditional methods often struggle with variables like abnormal corneal thickness, rigidity, or conditions like keratoconus and corneal hysteresis. These factors can skew results, complicating glaucoma screenings. Diaton, (New York’s DevelopAll Inc.,), introduced a novel approach that bypasses the cornea, enhancing accuracy and flexibility in IOP assessments.
Diaton operates by placing the device atop the upper eyelid, above the limbus area. This unique method is especially advantageous for patients with atypical corneas. Roman Iospa, CEO of DevelopAll Inc., emphasizes Diaton’s ability to deliver precise IOP readings, unaffected by corneal variations. The device’s characteristics and applications are multifaceted:
- FDA-approved as a transpalpebral, transscleral instrument.
- No need for anesthesia or sterilization.
- Handheld and portable, resembling a pen.
- Compatible with patients wearing contact or scleral lenses.
- Eliminates the need for consumables, calibration, or pachymetry adjustments.
- Non-invasive, reducing risks of corneal scratches or infections.
In the post-COVID era, the demand for safer medical tools has surged. Diaton’s design, which avoids direct eye contact, minimizes the risk of viral transmission, a concern highlighted by Mr. Iospa.
Dr. Emil William Chynn of Park Avenue LASEK surgery center notes Diaton’s utility in challenging cases like pediatric patients, post-refractive surgery cases, or in the presence of certain corneal pathologies.
Diaton’s versatility extends to measuring IOP in immobilized patients, as it works in both sitting and supine positions. It’s also effective post-procedures like LASIK, PRK or LASEK. Notably, the device is latex-free, avoiding potential allergic reactions.
The tonometer’s technique involves a lightweight, surgical-grade stainless steel tip. Positioned vertically above the eye, it gently rests on the eyelid to take measurements. This procedure only takes a few seconds to provide accurate IOP reading. Mr. Iospa explains that the device operates on Newton’s second law of motion, converting the speed of the tip’s rebound into an IOP reading.
Proper technique is important to avoid inaccuracies, with common errors including misalignment or improper lid positioning. The device assists with auditory cues for correct usage.
Clinically, integrating the Diaton tonometer is straightforward, as noted by Dr. Mark Latina an internationally renowned glaucoma specialist and laser expert. He is an Associate Clinical Professor at the New England Medical Center, Tufts University School of Medicine. He is a member of the Staff at the New England Medical Center and holds appointments at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.. Its ease of use and online support simplify training, making it a practical choice for any practice. Dr. Latina praises its efficiency in reducing exam durations and eliminating the need for additional equipment like slit lamps.
Having been in the market for a decade, Diaton tonometer continues to impress with its consistent and reliable IOP measurements. According to Mr. Iospa, the tonometer’s innovative approach has garnered substantial interest, offering a ‘wow’ factor in eye care diagnostics.
Who Can Benefit from Using the Diaton Tonometer?
The Diaton Tonometer is specifically designed for a wide range of healthcare professionals and settings. Its primary users include Ophthalmologists and Optometrists, as well as Ophthalmic Technicians. It’s also highly valuable in various medical facilities such as Hospitals (including Emergency Departments and Emergency Rooms), Urgent Care Clinics, Nursing Homes, and Elderly Care Facilities. General Practitioners and Specialty Doctors also find it useful. Beyond individual patient care, the Diaton Tonometer is an effective tool for large-scale Glaucoma Screening events and medical missions.
The unique non-corneal, scleral design of the Diaton Tonometer makes it particularly advantageous in situations where traditional corneal tonometry methods are challenging or unsuitable. This includes use with pediatric patients, individuals with specific corneal conditions like keratoconus or those who have undergone corneal surgery, and patients with corneal edema, infections, or trauma. It’s also beneficial for patients with a keratoprosthesis (KPro) implant. Its versatility makes it a preferred choice in a variety of clinical scenarios where accurate IOP measurement is crucial but difficult to achieve with standard methods.
