Glaucoma is the leading cause of global irreversible blindness. Blindness ranked 3rd (after cancer and heart disease) as people’s major fear. BiCOM Inc. with its Non-Corneal and Through-the-Eyelid DIATON Tonometer is challenging the “Sneak Thief of Sight” through awareness and screening events. BiCOM is advising and guiding all of its distributors located in over 60 countries in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Middle East to participate in the World Glaucoma Week on March 6th-12th through Screening and Awareness campaigns.

Since IntraOcular Pressure (IOP) is one of the major risk factors for developing Glaucoma, early detection is the key to preventing blindness.

Diaton tonometer is presented by FarbaC Biomedical. The World Ophthalmology Congress (WOC) starts in Guadalajara on Friday 5 February, with a packed schedule of presentations,Team FarbaC will present and conduct training sessions for Diaton tonometer STAND 114 – please find more at: http://www.farbac.mx/tonometro.html

Tonómetro Transpalpebral.

• Medición de la PIO
• Único transpalpebral, no toca el ojo. A través del párpado
• Tamaño compacto, para llevarlo a cualquier lugar
• No se requiere anestesiar al paciente
• No necesita esterilización

Team Diaton tonometer and BiCOM Inc supports January Glaucoma Awareness Month. Over 3 million Americans, and over 60 million people worldwide, have glaucoma. Experts estimate that half of them don’t know they have it. Combined with our aging population, we can see an epidemic of blindness looming if we don’t raise awareness about the importance of regular eye examinations to preserve vision. The World Health Organization estimates that 4.5 million people worldwide are blind due to glaucoma.

Unique through the Eyelid, independent of corneal biomechanics tonometer DIATON is showcased at the American Academy of Ophthalmology #AAO2015 in Las Vegas. Ophthalmologists now have an option to evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) completely removing corneal properties out of the equation with the help of transpalpebral and transscleral DIATON tonometry http://www.TonometerDiaton.com .

Transpalpebral Diaton tonometer at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, ASCRS / ASOA 2015. Transpalpebral Diaton tonometer is the world’s only non-corneal and non-contact tonometer used through the eyelid to quickly and painlessly determine intraocular pressure without directly touching the cornea or requiring use of topical anesthesia. 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. Diaton tonometry demo and training sessions available at Sonomed Escalon Exhibit #2745

Team Diaton tonometer and BiCOM Inc supports January Glaucoma Awareness Month. Over 2.7 million Americans, and over 60 million people worldwide, have glaucoma. Experts estimate that half of the patient at risk don’t know they have it. Combined with the aging population, we can see an epidemic of blindness looming if we don’t raise awareness about the importance of regular eye examinations to preserve vision. The World Health Organization estimates that 4.5 million people worldwide are blind due to glaucoma.

The best way to protect your sight from glaucoma is to get a comprehensive eye examination.  Then, if you have glaucoma, treatment can begin right away.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness among African-Americans. And among Hispanics in older age groups, the risk of glaucoma is nearly as high as that for African-Americans. Also, siblings of persons diagnosed with glaucoma have a significantly increased risk of having glaucoma.

We would like to wish you a Happy and Healthy 2015 – we hope we All are a year closer to finding the cure for Glaucoma….. – BiCOM Inc & Team Diaton

Thank you for your continues support!

BiCOM Inc and Team participates in a local health screening event with free glaucoma screenings. It is imperative to get regular eye pressure (IOP) screenings from your eye doctor. Vision loss caused by Glaucoma can be slowed or halted with the proper medication. Getting an eye pressure screening has never been easier or safer with painless through the eyelid Tonometer Diaton.  Many in need were screened and some at risk were referred to an ophthalmologists for further evaluation.

We thank organizers and our helpers for making this event a success!

BiCOM Inc with Optimetrics Inc are proud to feature transpalpebral and transscleral Diaton tonometer at The Inter-American Course which is designed for practicing ophthalmologists in Latin America and the Caribbean, to provide maximum emphasis on practical approaches to select clinical problems.
