Hafiz Glaucoma Centre, Bangladesh The Glaucoma is the second highest cause of Blindness in our country.

Keeping this things in mind we are trying hard to control Glaucoma with the minimum financial expendeture.

Interesting - another study shows that changes in pattern ERG results can be detected approximately 8 years sooner than changes in RNFL thickness. Glaucoma detection is becoming more and more refined!

Latest DIATON tonometry technology screened IOP in seconds.

February 05, 2013 First time it was displayed in a Medical fair in Dubai, UAE and thousands of order was processed from there.

IOP measurement is so easy and time saving! Quick and painless IOP measuring DIATON tonometer is within your reach. (It's just like a digital thermometer). Consider it like a digital thermometer or Glucometer. So patients/relatives can now record IOP now.

Handheld, pen-like tonometer allows to measure intraocular pressure( IOP) without contact with eye ball, eliminating virus and infection and is independent of biomechanical properties of the cornea or contact lenses. Since DIATON is non-contact and handheld pen-like tonometer, it can be used in any setting - rural areas that desperately need glaucoma screening or Inpatient & Outpatient Clinics such as Hospitals, Emergency Rooms, Nursing & Elderly Homes, General, Family & Specialty Practitioners office as well as Ophthalmic practice.
DIATON Tonometer provides reliable measurements and makes it possible to diagnose glaucoma in its early stages, allowing devising an appropriate care and treatment plan. DIATON is effective in obtaining IOP measurements for many challenging patient populations, including: those with chronic conjunctivitis, Corneal erosions or edema and corneal dimness; people who have undergone corneal surgeries; & immobilized patients and children. Also, patients do not need to remove their contact lenses.

Contact lens will monitor intraocular pressure round the clock!
A rigid, gas-permeable CL was designed as a doughnut shape with a 3-mm hole, where the BL film-based sensor was incorporated. The sensor was a polycarbonate film coated with a polycrystalline layer of the highly piezoresistive molecular conductor β-(ET), which can detect deformations caused by pressure changes of 1 mm Hg.
A study testing the safety and tolerability of the lens sensor designed to assist in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma suggests that the device is safe and relatively well tolerated.

Forty people who either had glaucoma (n = 19) or were suspected of having glaucoma (n = 21) made up the subject pool. The patients took part in two 24-hour intraocular monitoring sessions 1 week apart.

The researchers monitored for adverse events, assessed the tolerability of the contact lens via visual analogue scales, and determined the reproducibility of the signal patterns between the intraocular monitoring sessions, using Pearson correlations.

This study reveals that the contact lens sensor provides a safe and well-tolerated approach to 24-hour intraocular pressure monitoring in glaucoma patients.The pressure sensor contact lens appears safe and tolerable.
