Innovative Through-the-Eyelid Non-Invasive Tonometer Expands Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Screening in Primary Care and Specialized Healthcare Settings
MIAMI BEACH, FL – June 17, 2026 – Team DIATON announced today its participation in the World Health Expo (WHX) Miami 2026, held June 17-19 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. As a premier medical trade show connecting global innovators and medical professionals, WHX offers the perfect platform to showcase non-invasive diagnostic tools that improve patient care and broaden healthcare accessibility.
The DIATON Transpalpebral Tonometer redefines how medical providers measure intraocular pressure (IOP). By reading through the eyelid and sclera, it completely eliminates corneal contact. This breakthrough technology delivers rapid, painless, and completely non-invasive glaucoma screening. Because it bypasses the cornea, the device does not require anesthetic eye drops, disposable tips, or specialized ophthalmic setups, making vision-saving screenings highly accessible.
“Millions of people globally live with undiagnosed glaucoma because it is an asymptomatic disease,” said a spokesperson for Team DIATON. “Our transpalpebral scleral tonometer allows diverse healthcare environments to easily adopt routine eye pressure screenings. This facilitates earlier detection and timely referrals to ophthalmologists, ultimately preventing irreversible blindness.”
Expanding Glaucoma Screening Beyond Ophthalmic Clinics
While widely trusted by ophthalmologists and optometrists, the portable DIATON device allows non-ophthalmic clinicians to easily assess eye pressure. It seamlessly integrates into:
- Primary Care: Family medicine and internal medicine practices.
- Urgent & Emergency Care: ERs, urgent care clinics, and hospitalists.
- Specialty Clinics: Diabetes, hypertension, neurology, and endocrinology centers.
- Community Health: Public health screenings, mobile clinics, and rural health networks.
- Senior Care: Nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home healthcare.
- Remote Medicine: Telehealth programs and military healthcare infrastructure.
Incorporating rapid, non-invasive eye pressure checks into routine exams catches high-risk patients who might otherwise skip comprehensive eye exams.
Key Benefits of DIATON Transpalpebral Tonometry
- Zero Corneal Contact: Measures safely through the upper eyelid.
- No Medication Required: Eliminates numbing drops or fluorescein dye.
- Cost-Effective Operations: Requires no disposable tips or plastic covers.
- Maximum Infection Control: Bypasses corneal contact, reducing cross-contamination risks.
- Clinical Versatility: Handheld, lightweight, and ideal for bedside or field use.
- Cornea Independent: Highly accurate post-LASIK and on eyes with corneal pathology.
- Patient Comfort: High compliance in pediatric, geriatric, and anxious patients.
Supporting Global Blindness Prevention Initiatives
Glaucoma remains a leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Because optic nerve damage cannot be reversed, early diagnostic intervention is critical. By democratizing access to intraocular pressure assessment tools, DIATON empowers broad-spectrum healthcare providers to protect patient sight before permanent vision loss occurs.
