Unique Eyelid Tonometer Diaton Transpalpebral Tonometry is Featured at American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery Symposium and Congress ASCRS by BiCOM Inc.
Summary
Chief Executive of BiCOM Inc., Roman Iospa says: “Introduction of Diaton tonometer to the members of American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) presents a great opportunity for BiCOM to display the uniqueness of the transpalpebral Diaton tonometry – tonometery through the Eyelid.” Great success of the modern keratorefractive surgery, especially excimerlaser cornea microsurgery (FRК, LASIK, LASEK, Epi-LASIK) and its wide spread require high attention to the eye morphophysiological rates in pre- and postoperational period.According to the data of numerous investigations, underestimation of IOP level during applanation tonometry in patients, which were subject to keratophotorefractive surgeries, is of great importance in glaucoma diagnostic search.A number of studies were conducted to evaluate the clinical use of transpalpebral scleral tonometry, reliability of its application in the patients with refraction anomaly in pre- and postoperational period, dynamics of eye morphometric rates (pachymetry of the central corneal zone, IOP) and their correlative bond before and after photorefractive surgeries.At the same time clinical application of transpalpebral scleral diaton tonometer makes it possible to evaluate IOP using only One device, the procedure being efficient, economical, simple in performance and requiring no additional instrumental examination.Hence, the advantages of scleral tonometry application in this category of patients for ophthalmotone appropriate evaluation and timely ophthalmohypertension detection are clear.A number of studies were conducted to evaluate the clinical use of transpalpebral scleral tonometry, reliability of its application in the patients with refraction anomaly in pre- and postoperational period, dynamics of eye morphometric rates (pachymetry of the central corneal zone, IOP) and their correlative bond before and after photorefractive surgeries.Results of the studies are available at: http://www.TonometerDiaton.com Procedure Video / Demo is available at: http://tonometerdiaton.com/index.php?do=home.trainingPlease visit them at ASCRS Booth # 315 for up-close presentation of Tonometer Diaton.Thus, cornea thickness is the important factor of IOP evaluation and monitoring and requires the necessity of including corneal pachymetry in the program of examination the patients with suspicion of glaucoma and hypertension, especially after various keratorefractive surgeries while using the traditional corneal methods of ophthalmotonometry.
