Tonometry

The Diaton tonometer is widely regarded as an excellent and highly unique tonometer because it measures intraocular pressure (IOP) transpalpebrally (through the upper eyelid and sclera). This cornea-independent approach allows it to measure eye pressure without ever touching the sensitive cornea.

Whether the Diaton is the absolute best depends on your specific clinical or personal needs. It stands out in several distinct categories:

Why Diaton is Considered the Best

Zero Corneal Contact: Because it does not touch the cornea, it eliminates the risk of corneal abrasions, cross-contamination, and the need for topical numbing drops.

Ideal for Challenging Corneas: It is highly effective for patients with corneal irregularities (e.g., keratoconus, scars, severe astigmatism) or those who have had previous eye surgeries like LASIK or PRK.

Lens-Friendly: It is the only tonometer capable of accurately measuring IOP without requiring the patient to remove scleral or contact lenses.

Emergency & Geriatric Use: It is a go-to tool for emergency rooms, hospitals, and pediatric or geriatric care, as it can take measurements while the patient is in a reclined or seated position.

Team DIATON Looks Ahead to 2026: Advancing Eye Care and Preventing Blindness Worldwide

Team DIATON is pleased to announce its 2026 plans to further support eye care professionals, strengthen community engagement, and promote early detection of vision-threatening conditions worldwide.

The innovative Diaton Transpalpebral Tonometer provides a unique approach to measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) through the eyelid and sclera, without corneal contact, anesthetic drops, or disposable tips. This methodology enhances comfort, reduces infection risk, and offers consistent IOP results independent of corneal thickness or biomechanics — empowering clinicians with reliable diagnostics in a broad range of clinical settings.

Our 2026 Roadmap: Industry Events and Global Engagement

Team DIATON intends to participate in and present at the following key ophthalmology and eye care events in 2026, where we will showcase the Diaton tonometer, engage with clinicians and researchers, and collaborate on strategies for blindness prevention:
