Press Release Summary: Tonometer Diaton is presented at the American Academy of
Optometry,
Anaheim 2008, Booth # 545. The eye care community is embracing Tonometer Diaton for
its ease of use and accuracy. Trans-scleral and Trans-palpebral (through the Eyelid)
Tonometry lets doctors determine Intra-Ocular Pressure (IOP). Diaton Tonometer
allows for quick non-contact screening of IOP though eyelid, independent of the
cornea.


Press Release Body: Unique Tonometer Diaton is to be exhibited at The American
Academy of
Optometry (AAOPT) meeting in the city of Anaheim, California, Booth # 545.
Trans-scleral and Trans-palpebral (through the Eyelid) Tonometry allows
optometrists to determine possible elevation of Intraocular (IOP) pressure at an
early stage. Elevated IOP levels lead to Glaucoma, and early diagnosis is the key
to preventable blindness. The new Diaton Tonometer allows for quick non-contact
screening of IOP
though eyelid, independent of the cornea. BiCOM is looking forward to the AAOPT
Academy 2008 in Anaheim. For the first time in California, Doctors of Optometry will
be able to diagnose and treat Glaucoma fully, which Doctors are qualified to do but
are unable under current outdated law.

Portability and simplicity make Tonometer Diaton ideal for a wide
range of uses: mass screening of the population, at the patient's
bedside, in geriatric homes, in children hospitals, for the military
and for home use.

Diaton Tonometer is intended for use by Inpatient & Outpatient Clinics
such as Hospitals, Emergency Rooms, Nursing & Elderly Homes, General &
Specialty Practitioners as well as Ophthalmologists and Optometrists.

Tonometer Diaton is the perfect solution in the following cases when
the use of other devices is problematic or impossible:

* mass prophylactic screening of patients;

* IOP control during clinical observation of glaucoma patients;

* orthoclinostatical probe, as an additional test to diagnose glaucoma
during selection of the adequate hypotensive therapy;

* ophthalmotone monitoring (even at night time);

* IOP measuring during contact correction (without need to remove
contact lenses),

* IOP measuring in immobilized patients;

* IOP measuring in children.

* on patients with the following conditions: chronic conjunctivitis,
cornea pathology, including keratitis, keratotone, cornea dimness,
after penetrating keratoplastics, keratoprosthesis, laser refractive
correction of the eyesight, high degree of ametropy, astigmatism;

* on patients with medicinal allergies;

* Lasik/ LASEK /PRK (recent clinical trials have proved that Diaton is
the only device that can be used for IOP measurement right after these
surgeries)

Besides determining the potential for glaucoma onset, Diaton tonometer
vs. other tonometers, Diaton can be used repeatedly during the day with
no effect on the eye. BiCOM Inc. covers the full scope of customer
service, which involves client training, follow ups, hotline support, sales support,
