FDA-cleared Diaton tonometer streamlines intraocular pressure measurement in emergency care – no drops, no disposables, no delays.
New York, NY – 6/23/2025 – As emergency departments (EDs), hospitals, and urgent care clinics face increasing pressure to deliver rapid, accurate diagnostics, many are adopting the Diaton Tonometer for intraocular pressure (IOP) assessment. Unlike traditional tonometers that require corneal contact, anesthetic drops, or costly disposable tips, Diaton measures IOP through the eyelid and sclera – a game-changing innovation in emergency eye care.
Brough to market and distributed by DevelopAll Inc., the Diaton Tonometer is receiving strong validation from ED clinicians and nursing staff who have integrated the device into their workflows.
Real-World Use Cases Demonstrating the Value of Diaton:
Use Case 1: Pediatric Eye Trauma – No Tears, No Drops
A young child arrived at a major urban ER with eye pain after a minor injury. Attempts to open the eye for standard tonometry were impossible due to distress and fear. Using the Diaton tonometer, ED staff were able to measure IOP non-invasively within seconds, without requiring the child to open their eye to take invasive measurement or tolerate eye drops. The reading helped rule out acute glaucoma, and the child was discharged without unnecessary interventions.
Use Case 2: Elderly Patient with LASIK History
An elderly patient presented with headache, nausea, and blurry vision – symptoms consistent with acute angle-closure glaucoma. The patient had previously undergone LASIK, making traditional corneal-based IOP measurements unreliable. Diaton provided a stable reading unaffected by altered corneal thickness. Diagnosis was made promptly, allowing treatment to begin within minutes of triage.
Use Case 3: Busy Urgent Care Center with Limited Resources
At a high-volume urgent care facility, clinicians were dealing with a patient complaining of persistent eye discomfort and halos. With no ophthalmologist on-site and limited specialized tools, Diaton tonometer was used to quickly assess IOP. The device required no recalibration, no lens removal, and no preparation beyond a short training session. Staff reported saving 10–15 minutes per patient compared to previous protocols.
Clinician Feedback Collected by DevelopAll Research Associate
These findings were documented and evaluated by Arkadi Iospa, a research associate at DevelopAll Inc., who interviewed emergency physicians and nurse practitioners across multiple facilities. Arkadi noted:
“All the doctors and nurses were eager to provide feedback. They consistently reported that Diaton saved time, reduced complexity, and made their jobs easier. Patients preferred it as well, especially those with eye sensitivity or prior trauma. Everyone expressed that they were glad to have integrated Diaton into their workflow.”
This collective feedback aligns with prior clinical studies – including work by Dr. Mark Latina (Harvard / Massachusetts Eye & Ear), which confirmed that Diaton tonometer provides comparable accuracy to Goldmann Applanation Tonometry, without the limitations of corneal contact.
A Transformational Shift in Emergency Eye Care
Diaton addresses key gaps in emergency and urgent care settings:
- No corneal contact – safe for use on injured, post-operative, or sensitive eyes
- No anesthetic drops – eliminates drop-related risks and patient hesitation
- No disposable tips – cost-effective and environmentally responsible
- Portable and fast – ideal for chair, gurney, or field assessments
“Acute glaucoma is a sight-threatening emergency, yet IOP screening is often skipped due to logistics,” said a participating ED physician. “Diaton removes those barriers.”
