Diaton Tonometer's Unique Transpalpebral Tonometry Capabilities Revealed at ASCRS ASOA Congress in San Diego

Diaton tonometer is particularly useful in cases where standard direct applanation (corneal) tonometry is difficult or not viable, such as with pediatric patients, in presence of certain corneal pathology, edema, infection, following corneal surgery, KPro and in cases of eye trauma.

Emil W. Chynn, MD, FASC stated, – "As a Cornea-Refractive trained specialist, I encounter many situations where Goldmann readings are inherently inaccurate–like post-LASIK, in cases of corneal edema, scarring, post-keratoprosthesis or transplant. In such cases, it's both invaluable and reassuring to have the Diaton device available to measure IOP that's independent of corneal pathology."

Recent Clinical Trials Show that Diaton tonometer is Irreplaceable:

• Diaton Tonometer use in Boston KPro Type 1. Clinical Study from University of Illinois at Chicago: Agreement among Transpalpebral,Transcleral and Tactile Intraocular Pressure Measurements in Eyes with Type 1 Boston Keratoprosthesis

• Diaton tonometer in Keratoconus study: Tonometric Values of Intraocular Pressure, Using the Goldmann Tonometer, Tonopen and Diaton Transpalpebral Tonometer in Keratoconus

• Clinical Comparison of 3 tonometers: Comparative Agreement Among Three Methods of Tonometry: Goldmann Applanation, Transpalpebral and Dynamic Contour

• Diaton tonometer use post LASIK: Diaton tonometer for intraocular pressure measurements after laser in situ keratomileusis

Major Benefits of Diaton Tonometer:

• No contact with the cornea (only upper eyelid)
• No anesthesia drops
• No risk of infecting or scratching cornea
• No consumables
• No sterilization
• No pachymetry needed
• No daily calibration needed
• Handheld / Portable + Easy to use
