Press Release Body = BiCOM is pleased to introduce its unique Transpalpebral

Roman Iospa, CEO of BiCOM Inc., says \"Introduction of Diaton tonometer to the
members of American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) presents a
great opportunity for BiCOM to display the uniqueness of the transpalpebral Diaton
tonometry - tonometery through the Eyelid.\"

Great success of the modern keratorefractive surgery, especially excimerlaser cornea
microsurgery (FRК, LASIK, LASEK, Epi-LASIK) and its wide spread require high
attention to the eye morphophysiological rates in pre- and postoperational period.
The most important rates are still the characteristics of the cornea, such as
thickness and its changes, regenerative response of corneal tissue and its
regulation, as well as the data of intraocular pressure (IOP) and their correlation
with cornea metrical rates.
According to the data of numerous investigations, underestimation of IOP level
during applanation tonometry in patients, which were subject to
keratophotorefractive surgeries, is of great importance in glaucoma diagnostic
search. Hence, the advantages of scleral tonometry application in this category of
patients for ophthalmotone appropriate evaluation and timely ophthalmohypertension
detection are clear.

A number of studies were conducted to evaluate the clinical use of transpalpebral
scleral tonometry, reliability of its application in the patients with refraction
anomaly in pre- and postoperational period, dynamics of eye morphometric rates
(pachymetry of the central corneal zone, IOP) and their correlative bond before and
after photorefractive surgeries.
