Through The Eyelid At AAO 2008
Tonometer Diaton At AAO 2008
Presenting recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of eye disease, the AAO annual meeting features the most extensive floor exhibit in ophthalmology. The American Academy of Ophthalmology is the largest national membership association eye care professionals including ophthalmologists, medical and osteopathic doctors who provide comprehensive care, including medical, surgical and optical care. More than 90 percent of practicing eye care professionals are members. There are more than 7,000 international members, from countries such as Brazil, South America, The United Kingdom, Southeast Asia and many more.
With the unique Tonometer Diaton, BiCOM is challenging Glaucoma. Called the “sneak thief of sight”, it carries an increasing threat of preventable blindness to those worldwide. Diaton allows for screenings without the use of anesthetic drops and most importantly, no contact with the cornea. This makes screening easier than ever before, especially for children and seniors. Tonometer Diaton measures intraocular pressure (IOP) through the upper eyelid, over sclera, which in turn does not require correction for corneal thickness and reduces possibilities of infection.
The American Academy Of Ophthalmology meeting was opportunity for ophthalmologists and optometrists to obtain free training and to learn of the proven benefits of Diaton (transpalpebral) tonometry. The ease of use and accuracy was received successfully by the attendees of AAO.
"Diaton tonometry" is a unique approach to measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) through the Eyelid. Non-Contact (no contact with cornea), no anesthesia or sterilization required with this pen-like, hand-held, portable tonometer.
Optimetrics showcased a variety of new and used ophthalmic and optometric equipment such as slit lamps, autorefractors & phoropters, diagnostic lenses, ophthalmic lasers, tonometers, lensmeters & keratometers, topographers & specular Microscope among many other vision- related products.
