LONG BEACH, NY, November 15, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Unique Tonometer Diaton exhibited successfully at The American Academy of Optometry (AAOPT) meeting in the city of Anaheim, California. 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. Academy 2008 Anaheim was a tremendous success. Ease of use and accuracy of Tonometer Diaton was greatly accepted by attendees. The exhibit hall had about 190 exhibitors. The meeting included over 400 international attendees representing 39 countries. The conference was overall a huge success.
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)
