#IOP measurements with new transpalpebral tonometer appear as accurate as gold standard device Visit link in Bio✔ @tonometerdiaton The Diaton #tonometer measured IOP within 3 mm Hg of the gold standard #applanationtonometer in a majority of #glaucomatous and nonglaucomatous cases, a study found. Mark A. Latina, MD, and colleagues found that the Diaton tonometer (Bicom) measured within 3 mm Hg in 83.3 % of eyes when correlated with measurements by #Goldmann applanation tonometry. In an interview with Ocular Surgery News at the Association for Research in Vision and #Ophthalmology meeting, Dr. Latina said IOP measurements with the Diaton tonometer are equivalent to Goldmann applanation tonometry. The Diaton device offers a safe, noncontact method of measuring pressure via the eyelid, he said. "It works," Dr. Latina said. "It gives you a reasonable estimation of the pressure without having to anesthetize the cornea through a transpalpebral approach." Dr. Latina and colleagues presented results of the study in a poster presentation. The study examined IOP measurements in 66 eyes of 33 consecutive subjects; 46 eyes had #glaucoma and 20 did not. Measurements were masked, with one researcher using Goldmann #tonometry and another using the #Diaton. @tonometerdiaton Learn more at http://www.TonometerDiaton.com https://www.healio.com/ophthalmology/glaucoma/news/online/%7Bfa7556ee-0b1f-4db1-99e9-bb9a1efd8ffd%7D/iop-measurements-with-new-transpalpebral-tonometer-appear-as-accurate-as-gold-standard-device #optometry #ophthalmologist #glaucomasurgery #eyesurgery #eyesurgeon #eyelidtonometer #eyecaretonometer #eyetonometer #goldstandardtonometer #clinicalstudy https://www.instagram.com/p/BsoO9QaALhY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10iidnw8lcpzx
