A better future is in sight.

COMING SOON: AFFORDABLE OCT TO SCREEN EYE DISEASE

Keep me updated.

We’re ready to catch the quietest thief.

You could be going blind right now and have no idea. Most eye diseases quietly develop in your retina — without symptoms. That’s why routine screening is critical — to catch diseases early. Early enough to prevent eye diseases from stealing your vision. Another problem: the leading eye disease imaging technology, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), has been too expensive for most eyecare providers. Only the privileged few have had access to OCT systems worldwide.

What is OCT?

Optical Coherence Tomography is the light-equivalent to SONAR, sending signals to, then reflecting off of surfaces in order to measure depths of individual layers. Those collective signal measurements form an image of the retinal layers, where eye diseases quietly lurk, and can be accurately detected. Although OCT has been available for over 25 years, it remains an expensive technology to manufacture and operate. The use of high-quality optics, precision components and complex software have put this technology out of reach for most healthcare providers worldwide.

Until now.

Affordable OCT is on its way.

Based on a breakthrough achieved by Dr. Adam Wax and his team at Duke University’s BIOS Lab, a patent-pending, low-cost, light-weight system has been devised that will revolutionize eye disease detection. Soon, more patients around the world will be able to have their retinas checked thanks to an affordable, portable OCT instrument. The Lumedica system is small, powerful and simple, it can be deployed as a stand-alone screening instrument, integrated with an Artificial-Intelligence data diagnostic, or as the front line of an eye care network.

Our markets

Screening devices built by Lumedica Vision will go a long way toward reaching healthcare’s “triple aim.” For many providers, the Lumedica Vision device will be the very first OCT screening instrument they’ve been able to afford. They’ll love the price. They’ll love its portability. And the fact that they’ll finally be able to detect eye disease earlier than ever.

Int'l Opthamologists & Optometrists

High cost has prevented most of the world's eye professionals from using OCT.

U.S. Opthamologists & Optometrists

The low-cost and portability are attractive to providers treating underserved populations.

General Practitioners            

GP's will be able to screen retinas as part of a routine exam-- especially valuable for aging patients.

Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM)

The compact light engine complements other diagnostic technologies in integrated instruments.
