Fighting to ​eradicate ​Glaucoma worldwide

Innovative solutions, outsanding results.

About
Glaucoma is the leading avoidable cause of blindness, after cataracts, for which surgery is now commonplace. Unlike cataracts, however, glaucoma’s progression can be halted with inexpensive eye drops.  The critical issue is the need to screen approximately 3 million Americans with undiagnosed glaucoma.  Today, screening is limited to well-off patients in the US and other Western countries.  Nearly all glaucoma-caused blindness could be avoided with inexpensive eyedrops, had it been detected in time.

Our focus is to provide early detection measures for Glaucoma to communities that lack the necessary resources, both financial and logisitcal, to tackle this disease.  We have developed a proprietary technology which we believe will be able effectively address these concerns.

Innovation

Our technology is a simple visual field analyzer, consisting of a software platform linked to any flat screen display unit; tablet, computer, even larger mobile phones. We will be the first to provide accurate visual field screening on a simple, inexpensive, universally available screen with accuracy equivalent to current “gold standard” hemispherical analyzers. Visual field testing remains critical for identifying glaucoma in patients and assessing how far the disease has progressed, as well as for assessing quality of life issues including a patient’s ability to perform daily life activities.

Proposition

We offer an all-inclusive, simple, screening service and charge a service fee for each patient exam. Our service includes the screen, operating software, billing/financial software and links to medical records. Data is protected in a HIPAA-compliant cloud-based software platform. All our distribution partners need to do is hand the patient the tablet and run the program for five minutes or less. The results are available instantly, allowing immediate direct referrals to eye care professionals.
