              Release Body: About a year ago no doctor would believe that it was 
              possible, but today it is becoming a mainstream procedure. Inpatient 
              & Outpatient Clinics such as Hospitals, Emergency Rooms, Nursing 
              & Elderly Homes, General & Specialty Practitioners are joining 
              Ophthalmologists and Optometrists with Unique Non-Invasive 
              Test for Glaucoma. BiCOM 
              Inc. and its unique, FDA approved Tonometer Diaton 
              now make it possible to safely and easily screen for Glaucoma 
              through the EYELID with no contact with the Cornea using 
              a small hand-held device and without the use of Anesthetic drops. 
 According 
              to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, one in 
              three Americans will suffer some form of age-related eye disease 
              by age 65, one in two by age 80, but unfortunately few individuals 
              are concerned with or even aware of their risk factors including 
              their family history, ethnicity, undiagnosed diabetes and glaucoma. By 
              2020, 43 million Americans will suffer significant vision loss or 
              even blindness, the Academy predicts. Aside from protecting the 
              eyes from accidents, early detection and treatment of vision-threatening 
              problems is the Key to protecting one's sight and quality of life 
              for later years. Because 
              eye disease in most cases advances without pain or symptoms, warning 
              signs may go undiagnosed until someone can't read their morning 
              paper, drive to the store, visit their doctor, or see the digits 
              on their telephone. By having the eyes examined, especially for 
              persons over the age of 40 will provide an early enough detection 
              if glaucoma is indeed present. Glaucoma 
              is treatable, especially the acute form, and even if that is present, 
              proper immediate treatment will restore normal vision. In chronic 
              glaucoma, early detection is the only known cure at this time. Mr. 
              Iospa, CEO of BiCOM Inc., has pointed out, "With 
              the introduction of our unique tonometer Diaton, 
              we're proud to challenge Glaucoma, a 'silent thief of sight', that 
              carries an ever increasing threat of causing blindness as the aging 
              population is growing in the U.S. and abroad." Mr. 
              Iospa added, "Medical doctors and Eye doctors must communicate. 
              Adding this simple and safe procedure by using Diaton tonometer 
              [Proactive Test for Glaucoma] would make the distance disappear, 
              hopefully in time to save the patients eyesight…" Eye 
              doctors should also be ready to assist their colleagues in medicine 
              with answers on Glaucoma and other eye related conditions, as well 
              as being able to provide adequate care for the newly referred patients. More
