The Unmet NeedPreventing the Epidemic of Vision Loss
Retinal diseases silently damage vision years before they damage structure, visible in standard imaging tests. For most patients, night vision loss is the earliest alarm of retinal dysfunction.
Vision loss from retinal diseases is growing rapidly due to the aging population. Currently, 57 million Americans have undiagnosed functional retinal impairment, progressing without the eye clinic's ability to measure it and intervene.
Traditional diagnostic modalities often catch retinal diseases only after structural tissue damages are deeply established. Tracking dark adaptation recovery time via a wearable, patient-friendly device turns a vague complaint of night vision loss into a quantifiable biomarker.
