Originally the creation of a merger between French Bar Industries and Paradigm Medical Inc. in early 1993, the company quickly became skilled in the development, manufacturing, sales, and marketing of medical devices utilizing innovative and dependable diagnostic technologies for the early detection of glaucoma and other eye disorders.
Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc. has an exceptional history of acquiring superior medical devices and companies. In 1997 Paradigm acquired OBF Labs and the Ocular Blood Flow Analyzer (BFA). Today the BFA is the only medical device available that measures both IOP and Ocular Blood Flow, two key factors in the assessment and early treatment of glaucoma, circulatory abnormalities, and other eye maladies. In 1998 the company acquired proprietary UBM technology from Humphrey Systems. After extensive research and development Paradigm enhanced this technology to be more precise, user friendly, and detailed with its introduction of the P60 UBM, the first Windows based UBM, in early 2005. In 2000 Paradigm acquired Dicon, a manufacturer of advanced diagnostic instrumentation, and expanded its product line to include perimetry, topography, and pachymetry. Only Paradigm’s sophisticated perimeters perform testing strategies with voice recognition software, now available in 26 languages. Paradigm remains dedicated to developing or acquiring new technologies and devices that preserve the vision of tomorrow, today.
Paradigm’s expertise lies with medical devices using UBM, A-scan, B-scan, pachymetry, perimetry, ocular electrophysiology, topography, tomography, and tonometry technologies. With over 17 years of experience Paradigm specializes in providing reliable, easy-to use equipment that provide the experienced practitioner unequalled value and performance, while remaining affordable for physicians starting new practices or opening up additional satellite offices.
Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc. is a publicly owned company traded on the OTC/PK under the symbol PDMI.
Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc. use to trade on the NASDAQ under the ticker of PMED. The company recieved their delisting notification in Apr 2003 and was delisted from the NASDAQ, but maintain their patents and FDA Approved Products to trade on the OTCBB and later down where it's at now on the pink sheets under the ticker of PDMI:

Provides the earliest detection of glaucoma through its objective 90 second long PERG test. It analyzes the functionality of ganglion cells and identifies glaucoma suspects well before perimetry can detect visual field loss. Unlike imaging techniques of the optic disk and retinal nerve fiber layer, which only provide a measure of missing ganglion cells and their axons, PARAMAX provides a measure of both missing and dysfunctional ganglion cells.
TEST Examples of Early Discovery and Diagnosis Possible • Pattern Electroretinogram (PERG)* • Glaucoma • Electroretinogram (ERG)* • Rod, cone, and retinal vascular diseases • Pigmented retinopathy • Age related maculopathy • Visual Evoked Potential (VEP)* • Amblyopia • Optic neuritis • Multiple sclerosis suspects • Electrooculogram (EOG)* • Vitelliform macular dystrophy • Electronystagmogram (ENG)* • Nystagmus • Multifocal ERG (mfERG)† • Optic nerve or retinal disease • The various dot syndromes • Multifocal PERG (mfPERG)† • Chloroquine retinopathy • Multifocal VEP (mfVEP)† • Visual field abnormalities * Available in PARAMAX and PARAMAX OMNI † Available exclusively in PARAMAX OMNI
GOOD PROCEDURES
With current imaging technologies and field perimetry, ganglion cell loss is defined, but damage has already occured

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2002_May_21/ai_86126240/ Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:PMED/PMEDW) announced today it has received notice of approval from the U.S. Patent Office of the Company's application for a new patent for its Photon(TM) laser delivery system.
The patent (application #09/368,737) will allow the Photon(TM) system to incorporate a special tip configuration that will allow for better and more efficient energy in the use of the laser and provide superior suction at the point of contact.
The Photon(TM) Laser System represents the first new energy source for cataract removal since the introduction of ultrasonic (acoustic shock wave), or "phaco," technology more than 30 years ago. Cataract removal surgery is the single largest volume and revenue producing outpatient surgical procedure for ophthalmologists worldwide.
PDMI reported that 25 distributors representing 30 different countries in Europe and North Africa have either contracted, or are in the process of finalizing agreements for representing the product in their respective countries.
