United States Senator Charles Schumer Declares World Glaucoma Day in New York State, BiCOM Inc. supports with Global Awareness Campaign

BiCOM Inc., a global distributor of Diaton Tonometer (non-invasive Tonometry through eyelid) is answering the call from World Glaucoma Association (WGA) and World Glaucoma Patient Association (WGPA) by advising and guiding all of its distributors located in over 30 countries in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Middle East to participate in the World Glaucoma Day on March 12th through Screening and Awareness campaigns.

BiCOM Inc., a New York based company, in conjunction with NYC Department of Transportation (DOT), will be holding an Awareness and Screening Event at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal – over 100,000 people travel by this ferry daily. The event is scheduled to be covered by local TV, radio and print media.

United States Senator Charles Schumer has officially proclaimed March 12 as World Glaucoma Day in the State of New York.
After reminding some important facts on the threat to vision by glaucoma, the Proclamation states:
“The success of the World Glaucoma Association and the World Glaucoma Patient Association has grown and is measured by the strength and dedication of all its staff, leadership and supporters. [...] I, Senator Charles E. Schumer, do recognize and observe with those gathered today that this day March 12, 2009 be proclaimed “World Glaucoma Day” in the State of New York”.

BiCOM Inc. has a distinctive history of providing the community with free vision screenings and educational events. Tonometer Diaton is currently being used by Lions Clubs International has been noted on “The View” morning television show and coordinated mass health screenings along with the Staten Island Health Action group and other national and international organizations.

This annual Staten Island Ferry Event reaches many eyes yearly, along with bringing attention to the importance of routine Glaucoma Screenings. Glaucoma often goes undiagnosed, leading to its status of the Number One cause of preventable blindness in the United States.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide.

60 million Americans are at RISK for developing Glaucoma

Prevent Blindness America Survey found that:

• Blindness ranked third (after cancer and heart disease) as people’s major fear.
• It is estimated that over 4 million Americans have glaucoma but only half of those know they have it.
• Glaucoma is 6 to 8 times more common in African-Americans than Caucasians.
• Everyone is at risk for glaucoma from babies to senior citizens. Yes, older people are at a higher risk for glaucoma but babies can be born with glaucoma (approximately 1 out of every 10,000 babies born in the United States).

Often people experience loss of peripheral (side) vision first and compensate for this loss by turning their head. It is imperative to get regular Glaucoma check-ups, as there are medications and surgeries that can be used at the on-set of Glaucoma to stave off vision loss.

“Once you lose your vision, you will never regain it again – wouldn’t you rather catch it before the damage is done?” says Roman Iospa, CEO of BiCOM Inc.

BiCOM, with the introduction of its unique Diaton Tonometer that measures intra-ocular pressure through the eyelid without the use of anesthesia or eye drops, plans to continue free screenings and awareness events to organizations beyond the World Glaucoma Day.

Tonometer Diaton Headlined At SECO 2009 Conference

Tonometer Diaton is presented at SECO 2009, Atlanta. This new wave of tonometry is on the forefront of Glaucoma prevention and detection, with no calibration required, no contact with cornea, no anesthetic drops required, simple to use and ideal for young and old. The SECO conference takes place at the Georgia World Congress Center in Georgia. Glaucoma Eye Test Tonometer Diaton aims to make measurement of intraocular pressure indicating Glaucoma as routine as a blood pressure screening, to prevent vision loss before it happens. Because Glaucoma is the number one cause of Blindess in the United States, and loss of vision is usually peripheral at first, many do not realize they have the “sneak thief of sight” before the damage has been done.

SECO 2009 is a conference serving optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians, and ophthalmic professionals who wish to learn new skills, acquire further knowledge of their field and to network with other eye care professionals.

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.

SECO 2009, Atlanta Showcasing Tonometer Diaton - Through the EYELID Tonometry

Mr. Roman Iospa, CEO of BiCOM Inc. has pointed out, “Diaton tonometer allows to do more through mass glaucoma screenings in adults and children without the use of anesthesia drops and, more importantly, with no contact with cornea, since Diaton tonometer measures intraocular pressure through the upper eyelid, which in its turn does not require correction for corneal thickness and dramatically decreases a possibility of infection. ”

SECO 2009 is an opportunity for ophthalmologists and optometrists to obtain free training and to learn of the clinically proven benefits of Diaton (trans-palpebral) tonometry.

Vision Systems Inc. (VSI) http://www.patternless.com will be presenting Tonometer Diaton at Booth # 437, Patternless Edger’s, Traditional Lane and Pre-Test Equipment, HRT Retinal Tomographers and Fundus Cameras for optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians, and ophthalmic professionals at all career levels.

“Diaton tonometry” is a vanguard approach to measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) through the Eyelid. Non-Contact (no contact with cornea), no anesthesia or sterilization required with this pen-like, hand-held, portable tonometer.

More information on the device, including clinical trials data can be found at http://www.TonometerDiaton.com or by calling BiCOM Inc. at the toll free number 1-877-diatons (877.342.8667).

Barack Obama Signs Proclamation Save Your Vision Week 2009 – BiCOM with Glaucoma Eye Test Diaton is Preparing to Help

Barack Obama, President of the United States of America proclaims March 1 through March 7, 2009, as Save Your Vision Week. BiCOM Inc home of Glaucoma Eye Test Diaton – non-contact Glaucoma Eye Test through the Eyelid is prepared to assist with vision screenings. Roman Iospa, CEO of BiCOM comments on Presidents support of glaucoma screenings. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are critical to minimize vision loss from eye diseases.

Proclamation by the president of the United Stated of America addresses the important issue of Blindness and visual impairment that affects millions of Americans. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are critical to minimize vision loss from eye diseases. During Save Your Vision Week – Barack Obama encourages all Americans to take action to prevent their vision loss.

BiCOM Inc. home of Glaucoma Eye Test Diaton Tonometer (IOP through the Eyelid), has been a long supporter of preventive glaucoma screenings. At a recent free glaucoma screening event where BiCOM in conjunction with SAVE Program (Sight for a Vision Exchange) and The Congressional Glaucoma Caucus Foundation conducted at New York City Children’s Services in honor of African American Heritage Celebration has revealed many with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) a major risk factor for glaucoma. Patients were referred to an ophthalmologist Dr. Lynnette P. Williams-Young a glaucoma specialist for further evaluation.

Vision Testing and Glaucoma Sreening sponsored by BiCOM Inc

Unfortunately, most people have limited knowledge of blinding eye disorders. Based on National Eye Institute 2005 study, only eight percent of respondents knew that glaucoma, a condition that can damage the optic nerve and cause vision loss and blindness, strikes without early warning. Similarly, glaucoma also begins as a silent vision threat; as per Prevent Blindness America, it is estimated that of those Americans that have glaucoma, only half know they have it. It is estimated that 60 million Americans are at risk for developing glaucoma.

Everyone should be screened, especially with availability of new non-invasive (over the eyelid) glaucoma screening technology aka “Glaucoma Eye Test” Diaton tonometer available to optometrists, ophthalmologists and general physicians, enabling doctors to quickly and painlessly screen individuals at risk.

Several demographic groups are at higher risk for visual impairment, including teenagers, diabetics, Hispanics, African Americans, and the economically disadvantaged. Older Americans are more susceptible to eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. Children need regular vision screenings because vision disorders left untreated during childhood can lead to permanent visual impairment during adulthood.

President Obama stated, “Eye disease knows no bounds, and every American should take steps to protect his or her eyesight.”

To remind Americans about the importance of safeguarding their eyesight, the Congress, by joint resolution approved December 30, 1963, as amended (77 Stat. 629; 36 U.S.C. 138), has authorized and requested the President to proclaim the first week in March of each year as “Save Your Vision Week.”

“I’m pleased to see that President Barack Obama, with only weeks in the office is addressing an important issue of blindness, its early detection and timely treatment. My whole team at BiCOM Inc., and our partners are ready to continue our efforts and act on a larger scale by reaching out to many more people through awareness, training, glaucoma screening events and making “Glaucoma Eye Test” Diaton tonometer available to all that are willing to participate,“ said Roman Iospa, CEO of BiCOM Inc.

From the website of the White House: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Save-Your-Vision-Week-2009/

“NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 1 through March 7, 2009, as Save Your Vision Week. During this time, I invite eye care professionals, teachers, members of the media, and all organizations dedicated to preserving eyesight to join in activities that will raise awareness of vision diseases and disorders.”

Glaucoma Eye Test through Eyelid supports National Glaucoma Awareness Month – BiCOM sets up Eye Pressure Screening Events Globally

BiCOM Inc. global master dealer of Glaucoma Eye Test supports National Glaucoma Awareness Month. It is imperative to get regular eye pressure (IOP) screenings from your eye doctor. Vision loss caused by Glaucoma can be slowed or halted with the proper medication. Getting an eye pressure screening has never been easier or safer with painless through the eyelid Tonometer Diaton aka Glaucoma Eye Test.

The start of a new year signifies a new beginning to most, many people making resolutions to better their lives. Improving health is usually a top priority – but, visual health is often overlooked. January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month, the perfect opportunity to learn about “the sneak thief of sight”. Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness globally, with 70 million people affected. Glaucoma is an eye disease that gradually makes your vision “close in” on you, starting with peripheral (side) vision. Many people do not realize they have a problem, until the disease has progressed dramatically. Regular eye examinations and eye pressure (IOP) screenings are the best way to diagnose Glaucoma in its earliest stages.

Tonometry (http://www.Tonometry.org ), or the measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP), lets physicians know whether you have elevated levels of pressure within your eyes which is a one of the most important factors of Glaucoma detection.

New technological breakthroughs allow pressure to be measured easier & safer than ever before. Diaton Tonometry is a unique approach with the device measuring IOP thought the lid, never touching the cornea, reducing risk of infection and allowing maximum comfort for the patient. Tonometer Diaton is ideal for mass screenings and many other situations where older methods of tonometry do not suffice. This new device can even be used in-home for any age group.

Glaucoma that goes undetected progresses rapidly, robbing one of their sight, independence and well-being. There are factors that play a role in who develops this disease such as age, race and genetics, but Glaucoma can affect everyone from babies to the elderly. 20 percent of adults have never visited an eye doctor, and more than 60 percent of respondents thought that glaucoma was preventable, according to the American Optometric Association’s (AOA) American Eye-Q™ survey.

Educational/Awareness campaigns have been launched by BiCOM Inc., the global distributor of transpalpebral Tonometer Diaton (http://www.GlaucomaEyeTest.com), with successful results. This is the key to fighting this disease – education and ease of getting IOP screened.

Worlds Only Glaucoma Eye Test Through The Lid

MEDICA 2008 presented new products, services and processes for use in doctors’ surgeries and hospitals. With unique Tonometer Diaton, BiCOM is challenging Glaucoma. The “sneak thief of sight”, it carries an increasing threat of preventable blindness worldwide. Diaton allows for screenings without the use of anesthetic drops and most importantly, no contact with the cornea. This makes screening easier than ever before, especially for children and seniors. Tonometer Diaton measures intraocular pressure (IOP) through the upper eyelid, over sclera, which in turn does not require correction for corneal thickness and reduces possibilities of infection.

Mr. Roman Iospa, CEO, BiCOM Inc. commented “MEDICA 2008 has allowed international exposure for our unique medical device. After following up with the people we have met, we will definitely be launching Diaton in additional countries.“

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.
