Striving for the Next Generation in Tonometry
Investigational, disruptive new device technology for measuring eye pressure to diagnose and treat glaucoma.
LightTouch is a novel approach to measuring eye pressure: bivariate measurements using both force and area, transmits touch data via the cloud and connected to smart devices and a data server for capturing measurement data. LightTouch devices are not yet cleared by the FDA.
Our Goals Include:
ACCURACY
More accurate intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements will empower eye care professionals (ECPs) and patients to better safeguard vision. Our measurement technology is based on the physicians' choice Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT).
ACCESSIBILITY
Democratizing (making widely available and accessible) the gold standard in IOP measurement for the first time.
The Potential of the Data Value
Harmonious and accurate IOP data collected worldwide does not yet exist. Our data will be uniquely valuable to ECPs, patients, and researchers (academic, pharma, public health). LightTouch will create data markets that are currently unfulfilled.

Defending Against Glaucoma
For Every Memory Yet To Be Seen
The incidence of glaucoma increases with age. Globally and in the US, the 55+ age group is growing proportionally faster.
