Glaucare GmbH addresses the problem of lack of access to ophthalmological care affecting 2.5 billion people worldwide as reported by the World Health Organisation.

They provide ophmo, a mobile eye clinic solution enabling eye doctors, clinics, and health organizations to conduct preventive eye exams in rural areas to prevent blindness from diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataract, and diabetic retinopathy.

The ophmo case is a portable and easy-to-use mobile clinic containing an iPad with a dedicated app or PDF form, measuring devices, and visual acuity test display for medical assistants to conduct examinations.

Data is collected and sent remotely to ophthalmologists for diagnosis, who then relay the results to patients through medical assistants. The system is designed for simplicity and quick learning, requiring about a week to train medical assistants.

The product is gaining traction in West and East Africa, with tests at Kisii eye hospital in Kenya and interest from South-East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. The mission is to improve ophthalmological care access globally in underserved regions.
