The latest Innovation in tonometry is Diaton Scleral Tonometer. Diaton to be featured at GSLS conference at Exhibit 315 (BiCOM Inc.,). The Global Specialty Lens Symposium (GSLS) conference focuses on the successful management of ocular conditions using today’s specialty contact lenses. Innovative tonometer Diaton was clinically proven to accurately measure and assist to monitor intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients wearing scleral lenses.
“There has been a Renewed Concern about whether Scleral Lenses cause Increase in Intraocular Pressure.”
Multiple Studies showed IOP to elavate by ~5-7 mmHg regardless of scleral lens diameter worn.
Eye Doctors now Need to monitor IOP with Scleral Lenses IN the eye!
Contact lens Spectrum covered the topic in detail:
Link: https://www.clspectrum.com/issues/2018/september-2018/the-scleral-lens-vault
In one of the clinical study Does IOP Increase During Scleral Lens Wear, discussion followed: “We observed that immediately following scleral lens application, the IOP increased in all of the test subjects. The initial IOP increase averaged 5.5 mmHg. The pressure appears to remain elevated throughout the wearing time (average 7.0 mmHg increase from baseline prior to removal), then immediately returns to baseline following scleral lens removal. This suggests that the suction force beneath the lens is a primary contributor to the IOP changes. These suction forces”Scleral Diaton Tonometer will be Featured at GSLS at Exhibit 315 BiCOM Inc.,Hands-on training and presentations available on fist come first serve bases.
