Doctors need new medical devices which allow quick, non-invasive and painless ways to detect glaucoma in early stages.

Devices such as DIATON tonometer allow the doctors to measure of intraocular pressure of the eye through the upper eyelid without contact with eyeball or need for eye drops.

The tonometer Diaton helps in cases where the use of other devices is problematic or impossible.
