Tonometer Diaton Glaucoma Eye Test To Be Exhibited At American Academy Of Optometry 2008 Meeting
Tonometer Diaton is presented at the American Academy of Optometry, Anaheim 2008, Booth # 545. The eye care community is embracing Tonometer Diaton for its ease of use and accuracy.

LONG BEACH, NY, October 19, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Unique Tonometer Diaton is to be exhibited at The American Academy of Optometry (AAOPT) meeting in the city of Anaheim, California, Booth # 545. Trans-scleral and Trans-palpebral (through the Eyelid) Tonometry allows optometrists to determine possible elevation of Intraocular (IOP) pressure at an early stage. Elevated IOP levels lead to Glaucoma, and early diagnosis is the key to preventable blindness. The new Diaton Tonometer allows for quick non-contact screening of IOP though eyelid, independent of the cornea. BiCOM is looking forward to the AAOPT Academy 2008 in Anaheim. For the first time in California, Doctors of Optometry will be able to diagnose and treat Glaucoma fully, which Doctors are qualified to do but are unable under current outdated law.

Portability and simplicity make Tonometer Diaton ideal for a wide range of uses: mass screening of the population, at the patient's bedside, in geriatric homes, in children hospitals, for the military and for home use.

Diaton Tonometer is intended for use by Inpatient & Outpatient Clinics such as Hospitals, Emergency Rooms, Nursing & Elderly Homes, General & Specialty Practitioners as well as Ophthalmologists and Optometrists.

Tonometer Diaton is the perfect solution in the following cases when the use of other devices is problematic or impossible:

* mass prophylactic screening of patients;

* IOP control during clinical observation of glaucoma patients;

* orthoclinostatical probe, as an additional test to diagnose glaucoma
during selection of the adequate hypotensive therapy;

* ophthalmotone monitoring (even at night time);

* IOP measuring during contact correction (without need to remove
contact lenses),

* IOP measuring in immobilized patients;

* IOP measuring in children.

* on patients with the following conditions: chronic conjunctivitis,
cornea pathology, including keratitis, keratotone, cornea dimness,
after penetrating keratoplastics, keratoprosthesis, laser refractive
correction of the eyesight, high degree of ametropy, astigmatism;

* on patients with medicinal allergies;

* Lasik/ LASEK /PRK (recent clinical trials have proved that Diaton is
the only device that can be used for IOP measurement right after these
surgeries)

Besides determining the potential for glaucoma onset, Diaton tonometer
vs. other tonometers, Diaton can be used repeatedly during the day with no effect on the eye.
