OneVue develops ONVIEW, a wearable eye-imaging headset that combines precision optics with AI-assisted analysis to help clinicians perform specialist-level eye examinations beyond the traditional clinic. Founded by a team of ophthalmologists, engineers, and designers, the company is building portable imaging technology for underserved communities as well as existing healthcare practices. Its products are currently under development and are not cleared for sale in the United States.
AI OpticsAI Optics develops portable retinal-imaging hardware and AI-based screening software that brings eye-disease screening into primary care, retail health, home-based care, and other point-of-care settings. Founded by an NYU-trained physician who saw the consequences of limited screening access, the company built its FDA-cleared Sentinel Camera from scratch and is developing Sentinel Pro to run disease-screening modules directly on the handheld device. The New York-based team combines medical-device engineering experience with expertise in optical systems, embedded devices, and AI algorithms.NEW YORK, NY
VitaPixelBorn from retinal surgeon Christopher Riemann’s experience with a career-threatening neck injury, VitaPixel is developing a digital slit-lamp system that brings stereoscopic 3D viewing to XR glasses so ophthalmologists can examine patients upright. The Cincinnati-based team combines Riemann’s more than 25 years at the slit lamp with medical-device engineering and ophthalmic clinical experience. VitaPixel remains a pre-market startup; its device is not yet FDA-cleared or available for sale.
MyoptechsMyoptechs is developing patented optical technology in contact lenses and glasses to correct children’s vision while slowing the progression of myopia. Its Faceted Optical System™ is designed specifically for myopia control, and the company has proven manufacturability for both formats and clinically validated its contact lens in three studies. The devices are still in development and are not currently available for purchase or use in the United States.COLUMBUS, OH
Pharos Imaging, IncPharos Imaging is developing a compact optical coherence tomography platform designed to bring microscopic imaging out of specialist back rooms and into portable, everyday settings. Founded around a team led by co-founders Dr. David Rubaltelli and Dr. Xingchen Ji, the company is building a battery-powered, cloud-connected system that is smaller than a cell phone and intended to broaden access to OCT for home monitoring and screening.NEW YORK, NY
