AdOM Advanced Optical Methods Overview
AdOM Advanced Optical Methods specializes in two primary areas: optical imaging capabilities and clinical and research ophthalmology skills. AdOM develops thin-film optical imaging technologies to master the spectral imaging domain for clinical ophthalmology. The company is currently focused on the commercialization of its Tear Film Imager (TFI), which measures clinically relevant parameters of the tear film dynamics. The TFI uses spectral interference to image the corneal surface with a large field of view and high lateral resolution.

The Short-term Effects of Artificial Tears on the Tear Film ... : Cornea
A study was conducted to investigate the effects of artificial tears on the sublayers of the tear film using a novel tear film imaging (TFI) device developed by AdOM, an Israel-based company. The study involved 11 healthy participants, 9 of whom had meibomian gland disease. The results showed that a substantial acute mean MALT increase occurs 1 minute after artificial tear instillation with all agents tested, but there were clear differences in response and durability. The study was supported in part by the Marrus Family Foundation, the Geraldine Violett Foundation, and a Challenge Grant from Research to Prevent Blindness.

Study: Prototype imager of tear film sublayers opens eyes on dry eye
Researchers have developed a noninvasive tear film imager that can provide accurate information on the stability of the tear film and its sublayers. The imager, although still a prototype, offers dynamic mapping of the tear film and can provide quantified information about its various attributes. This technology could be valuable for eye doctors in diagnosing and understanding dry eye. The practicality and ease of use of the imager will be important for its widespread implementation in optometry.

המכשיר החדשני שיזהה חולי קורונה בצילום עיניים - וב-40 שניות חדשות 13
Israeli company, אדום, has developed a groundbreaking device that can detect the COVID-19 virus by imaging the layers of the eye. The device, which is the first of its kind, uses eye imaging to identify the virus envelope. The device has shown promising results in initial feasibility studies, with 10 out of 10 infected individuals showing signs of the virus in their tears. Further research and testing are needed to validate the devices effectiveness on a larger scale. The potential impact of the device is significant, but it will require additional funding and time to expand the research and include a larger sample size.

COVID Eye Detection Study at Sheba Hospital the Tear Film Imager (TFI) 40 Second Eye Exam Achieves 91% Sensitivity in Diagnosing COVID-19 vs PCR Standard of Care
AdOM Advanced Optical Technologies concluded a head-to-head prospective trial of the TFI vs PCR in COVID-19 patients, showing 91% sensitivity compared to the existing PCR standard of care. The study used a device called Tear Film Imager (TFI) and demonstrated excellent results in detecting COVID-19. AdOM also announced that an abstract about the use of the TFI for COVID-19 detection has been accepted for presentation at the 2022 ARVO Annual Meeting. The TFI is a non-invasive medical device that measures all sublayers of the tear film and has the ability to detect viruses within the tear film at nanometer resolution. The company is seeking regulatory authorization in other territories.

AdOM והמרכז הרפואי שיבא משיקים מחקר פורץ דרך לאיתור קוביד-19 בלומר
AdOM Advanced Optical Technologies LTD is partnering with Sheba Medical Center to conduct one of the worlds largest studies to determine if their Tar Film Imager (TFI) can effectively diagnose COVID-19 through a quick, non-invasive assessment of tear film in the eye. The research will compare the use of TFI against the current standard of PCR testing. The first patient has already been registered and the study will be conducted over the next 30 days, with an expectation to recruit about 500 patients.
