Press Release Summary: Lions club adds tonometer diaton to screen communities for
preventable blindness

Press Release Body: Long Beach, NY June 10 2008 -- BiCOM Inc. in conjunction with
The Lions Club 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. Lions Club members are planning to add painless Diaton tonometry
to their health screening events.

Diaton Tonometry is new and unique approach to measuring intraocular (eye) pressure
(IOP) THROUGH THE EYELID - no contact with the cornea, no anesthesia or
sterilization is required. BiCOM\'s pen-like, hand-held, portable device is perfect
for measuring eye pressure in children and adults and can be used by individuals
without prior medical background.

Lions Clubs are a network of 1.3 million men and women in 202 countries who work
together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world. Since
1917, they have been known for working to end preventable blindness, a cause BiCOM
greatly supports. Lions participate in locally-based events to help those less
fortunate. "Every Lions Club group should use this device!" raved Emil Adinolfi,
President of a Staten Island group. "If every Lions Club worldwide were to add this
small device, we could do screenings for not only the members, but the public", Mr.
Adinolfi added.

This diagnostic device Tonometer Diatonis irreplaceable for mass glaucoma
screenings. Lions Clubs plan to go to churches, synagogues, schools and do their own
local outreach events.

In 1925, Helen Keller challenged Lions to become \"knights of the blind in the
crusade against darkness\" during the association\'s international convention. Today,
Lions are recognized worldwide for their service to the blind and visually impaired.
Lions help with sight conservation through eyeglass recycling, sight partnerships
and countless other sight services. The Lions ambitious SightFirst Program has
restored sight through cataract surgeries, prevented serious vision loss and
improved eye care services for hundreds of millions of adults and children. To
continue and expand this effort, Lions have launched Campaign SightFirst II, with a
goal of raising at least US$150 million.

Undiagnosed and untreated, glaucoma can cause blindness. Glaucoma is the leading
cause of blindness in all age groups - from babies to senior citizens. Everyone
needs to get diagnosed to preserve eyesight.

Mr. Roman 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 US and abroad."

BiCOM Team has recently actively participated in the first World Glaucoma Day where
its efforts have resulted in reaching millions worldwide.

Because Diaton Tonometer is easy to use and portable, outreach programs are a great
opportunity to get the word out about preventable blindness. BiCOM plans to provide
additional support and incentives to clubs that add Diaton tonometry - "Glaucoma Eye
Test" to their activities. BiCOM hopes to work in conjunction with Lions Clubs
wordwide to make sure glaucoma is detected and treated at the earliest stage
possible.
