BiCOM Inc. in conjunction with The Lions Clubs of Staten Island held an educational/screening event to detect and prevent glaucoma using hand held tonometer Diaton which screens through the eyelid without use of anesthetic drops. The event was very successful, and the Lions Club members learned how to further their attempts to educate and screen the public in order to prevent blindness. Lions Club members are planning to add painless Diaton tonometry to their health screening events.

HP today announced it has awarded more than 100 non-profit organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) globally more than $5 million in cash and equipment to advance economic growth through microenterprise development in diverse, low-income communities.
