Diaton Tonometers Unique Transpalpebral Tonometry Capabilities Revealed at ASCRS ASOA Congress in San Diego to 1000's of Eye Doctors
Unique Transpalpebral Diaton tonometer, IOP through EYELID, featured at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, ASCRS / ASOA 2015. Diaton tonometer is the world's only Non-corneal and Non-contact tonometer used through the eyelid to quickly and painlessly screen for intraocular pressure for glaucoma without directly touching the cornea or requiring use of topical anesthesia.

SAN DIEGO, April 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.

Emil W. Chynn, MD, FASC 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, 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."
Recent Clinical Trials Show that Diaton tonometer is Irreplaceable:
- Diaton Tonometer use in Boston KPro Type 1. Clinical Study from University of Illinois at Chicago: Agreement among Transpalpebral,Transcleral and Tactile Intraocular Pressure Measurements in Eyes with Type 1 Boston Keratoprosthesis
- Diaton tonometer in Keratoconus study: Tonometric Values of Intraocular Pressure, Using the Goldmann Tonometer, Tonopen and Diaton Transpalpebral Tonometer in Keratoconus
- Clinical Comparison of 3 tonometers: Comparative Agreement Among Three Methods of Tonometry: Goldmann Applanation, Transpalpebral and Dynamic Contour
- Diaton tonometer use post LASIK: Diaton tonometer for intraocular pressure measurements after laser in situ keratomileusis
The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery is an international, educational society with more than 9,000 members. Its mission is to advance the art and science of ophthalmic surgery and the knowledge and skills of ophthalmic surgeons by providing clinical and practice management education and by working with patients, government, and the medical community to promote the delivery and advancement of high-quality eye care.
