Description

Eye diseases such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and macular edema require continuous monitoring of eye health, as they can be treated if detected early, but if left undetected, it can silently and rapidly progress to irreversible loss of vision.

Home-based ophthalmic monitoring solutions can help in preventing vision deterioration in patients with high risk of developing debilitating eye conditions by providing timely and early detection of warning signs with continuous monitoring of visual health, and also enabling better ocular disease management by tracking the effectiveness of therapy. Home monitoring solutions provide continuous data on the progress of the disease and also enhance compliance by increasing patient engagement. With the entry of home-based solutions in the ophthalmic space, eye hospitals and ophthalmologists have started adopting innovative business models. It is creating a transformative mega trend in the ophthalmology practice.
