Glaucoma Detection: How do you measure intraocular pressure without removing contact lenses?

BiCOM’s hand-held tonometer measures intraocular pressure (IOP) through the eyelid

Most patients need not remove contact lenses to be accurately measured. Nor are anesthesia drops usually required; with less likelihood of running makeup or yellow eyes.

“With the introduction of our unique tonometer Diaton, we’re proud to challenge Glaucoma, a “silent thief of sight”, that carries an ever increasing threat of causing blindness as the aging population is growing in the and abroad,” said Roman Iospa, CEO of BiCOM.

BiCOM Inc is a privately held company with 15 years of tradition.
