Diaton tonometer will be presented at the International Vision Expo and Conference on March 22-25 in New York City. Diaton will be showcased by
BiCOM Inc. Optimetrics Inc. - an ophthalmic equipments and instruments distributor for ophthalmologists, optometrists and optical laboratories in the United States and Latin America. The demo and training will be provided at Booth MS1252.
The International Vision Expo will be showcasing 600 exhibits carrying the latest in
ophthalmic and
optometric products and services. Thousands of visitors from around the world are to attend the event.
"Judging by the increase in public and private capital invested in the development of new products and services in the areas of eye care, eye disease, eye implants, pharmaceuticals,
ophthalmic equipment and the like, the industry has grown dramatically throughout last few years," says
Roman Iospa, CEO of BiCOM Inc.
Iospa pointed out, "With the introduction of our unique
tonometer Diaton, we're proud to challenge
Glaucoma, a "silent thief of sight," that carries an ever increasing threat of causing blindness as the aging population is growing in the US and abroad."
"Now
Diaton allows [clinicians] to do more through mass
glaucoma screenings without the use of anesthesia drops and, more importantly, with no contact with the cornea, since
tonometer Diaton measures intraocular pressure through the upper eyelid, which in its turn does not require correction for corneal thickness and dramatically decreases a possibility of infection."
Vision Expo is a perfect opportunity for ophthalmologists and optometrists to obtain free training and to learn of the clinically proven benefits of Daiton (transpalpebral) tonometry.
"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.
