INNOVATIVE #TRANSSCLERAL & #TRANSPALPEBRAL TONOMETER DIATON FEATURED AT THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY #AAO18 IN CHICAGO Innovative #Glaucoma diagnostic and glaucoma monitoring tonometry technology by Diaton Tonometer which measures Intra-ocular Pressure (IOP) via #Sclera and #Eyelid, without touching the #eyeball direct is showcased at The #AmericanAcademyofOphthalmology #AAO2018, in conjunction with the Pan-American Association of Ophthalmology #PAAO, will take place in McCormick Place, Chicago. TRANSPALPEBRAL & TRANS-SCLERAL TONOMETER DIATON WILL BE FEATURED AT 2 EXHIBITS / DIATON TONOMETRY TRAINING WILL BE PROVIDED: Sonomed Escalon Exhibit #1300 Optimetrics Inc Exhibit #3235 Discover what Diaton Tonometry can do for #ophthalmology practice at: http://www.TonometerDiaton.com Diaton Tonometer: Easy to use. Can be used by any trained personnel Quick, Puff-free & Painless (Perfect for children and adults) No contact with the cornea (only upper eyelid and sclera) No need for #anesthesia drops (no side effects) No need to take out Contacts or Scleral lenses (Only with Diaton) Safe: No risk of infecting or scratching cornea (safer vs other methods) Cost efficient: No consumables (no need to purchase replacement tips, probes or covers, etc.) Latex-free, handheld, non-contact, portable, pen-like tonometer No sterilization (just alcohol swab) Accurate: No #pachymetry needed (independent of #cornealbiomechanics) No special set-up needed(measure anytime, anywhere without the need of any other preparation before the #eye examination) Ready-to-use: Daily calibration not required (saves time) #Diaton tonometer yields IOP readings without corneal contact When corneal #tonometry is challenging, measuring IOP through the upper eyelid at the #limbus may be an alternative. “There are certain conditions where you cannot achieve a reliable pressure through the cornea,” Emil W. Chynn, MD, FACS, MBA, of Park Avenue Laser Vision in New York, told Ocular Surgery News. Such conditions include eyes with severe scarring, #corneal edema, ocular trauma or a #keratoprosthesis. #ophthalmic #ophthalmologist #glaucomasurgery #eyeexam #Oftalmología #oftalmologo (at McCormick Place) https://www.instagram.com/p/BosYA2NAZAV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=svne4xmdsdtj
