Diaton Tonometer in Action

Who Benefits from the Diaton Tonometer? A Comprehensive Guide for Eye Care Professionals

The Diaton Tonometer is a versatile and innovative tool designed for a wide range of healthcare professionals and clinical settings. Its unique, non-corneal, scleral measurement approach makes it particularly beneficial in scenarios where traditional corneal tonometry is not feasible or poses challenges. Here’s a closer look at who uses the Diaton Tonometer and why it’s a game-changer in eye care:

Target Users:

  • Ophthalmologists and Optometrists: For routine eye exams, glaucoma screening, and monitoring, offering a patient-friendly alternative to corneal tonometry.
  • Ophthalmic Technicians: Enhancing efficiency in clinics with a tool that is easy to use and requires minimal training.
  • Inpatient & Outpatient Clinics: Including hospitals, emergency departments, urgent care clinics, and specialized clinics, providing a quick and non-invasive method to measure IOP.
  • Nursing & Elderly Homes: Facilitating eye pressure measurement in less mobile patients with ease and comfort.
  • General & Specialty Practitioners: As a valuable tool for basic eye checks and glaucoma screening, especially in patients with specific needs.
  • Medical Missions & Mass Glaucoma Screening: Ideal for field use due to its portability, ease of use, and the ability to perform screenings without the need for corneal contact.

Ideal Applications:

The Diaton Tonometer shines in situations where corneal tonometry is challenging, such as:

  • Pediatric Patients: Minimizing discomfort and fear associated with eye exams.
  • Corneal Pathologies: Including edema, infection, or post-surgical conditions where corneal contact is contraindicated.
  • Keratoconus and KPro Patients: Where corneal integrity affects measurement accuracy.
  • Eye Trauma Cases: Providing a safe alternative to assess IOP without exacerbating injury.

Featured Articles, Clinical Studies, and Press Highlights:

Addressing Concerns with Scleral Lenses:

Recent studies highlight the need for IOP monitoring in patients using scleral lenses, as IOP may increase by approximately 5-10 mmHg irrespective of the lens diameter. The Diaton Tonometer offers a solution by allowing IOP measurement without removing the lenses, ensuring both safety and convenience.

Key Publications:

  1. Contact Lens Spectrum Feature by Gregory W. DeNaeyer, OD: Discusses the impact of scleral lenses on intraocular pressure and the importance of monitoring with Diaton. Read more.
  2. Clinical Insights by Prof. Patrick J. Caroline & Mark P. André: Explores the relationship between scleral lens wear and IOP changes, emphasizing the role of Diaton in accurate monitoring. Discover the findings.
  3. Emergency Physicians Monthly: Recognizes the Diaton Tonometer as a groundbreaking tool for measuring IOP through the eyelid, enhancing safety and efficiency in emergency medicine.
  4. Ophthalmology Management Magazine: RELIEVING ‘PRESSURE’ FROM GLAUCOMA SCREENING

Emphasizing Safety and Infection Prevention:

The Diaton Tonometer is lauded for its non-contact approach, eliminating the risk associated with mucous membrane or cornea contact. This feature positions it as the safest tonometry option on the market, ideal for preventing cross-contamination and ensuring patient and practitioner safety alike.

The Diaton Tonometer is more than just a medical device; it’s a transformative solution for eye care professionals seeking to enhance patient care, safety, and comfort. Its broad applicability and proven efficacy make it a must-have in the fight against glaucoma and other eye pressure-related conditions.

Diaton Tonometer: How To

A Unique Approach

“Diaton tonometry” is a unique approach to measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) through the Eyelid and Sclera. Non-Contact (no contact with cornea), no anesthesia or sterilization required, pen like, hand-held, portable tonometer.

Testimonials:

Emil W. Chynn, MD, FASC from Park Avenue LASEK 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, keratoconus, 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”

“It works,” said Dr. Mark Latina, glaucoma specialist (Harvard / MEEI) and the inventor of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT), after revealing results of the study titled: “Accuracy of Transpalpebral Tonometer Diaton Compared to Goldmann Applanation Tonometer in Normal and Glaucomatous Eyes”.  “The Diaton device provides a very useful way to confirm Goldmann tonometry, especially in certain complicated patients, in my glaucoma referral practice.”

Henry D. Perry, MD (Corneal Specialist and Comprehensive Ophthalmology – OCLI), – “Transpalpebral Tonometry is an accurate method of IOP measurement that is also independent from the biomechanical characteristics of cornea. It can be recommended for IOP measurements of patients diagnosed with glaucoma including those cases where cornea pathology or cornea characteristics have been altered.”

“The [device] is easy to use, user­ friendly, and it can be used on patients for mass screening,” Dr. Shazly said. “It’s portable, it’s economical; it’s really good for screening purposes.”

John Hope, MD, an ophthalmologist in private practice in Oklahoma City, said that he prefers the device because applanation tonometry is time-consuming and often requires support staff. Dr. Hope said that he has used the instrument routinely on every patient for at least 6 months.

“This instrument is so user­ friendly . . . there are no rubber covers to deal with, and, after the initial purchase, it is virtually maintenance-free,” he said.“I clean the instrument with an alcohol pad after each use, and it is easily portable in your pocket and can be transported from room to room or office to office.”

“There is no corneal contact and pressures can be obtained in patients wearing contact lenses,” Dr. Hope concluded. “The technique is easily and quickly learned.”
