Imagine a world without blindness

Millions of people from around the world are suffering from vision lost – probably our most important sense. Over 80% of vision losses could have been avoided with the right treatment and the right tools for patients. We want to empower patients with innovative products to reduce the risk of blindness dramaticly.

 

In that regard, our first mission is to treat glaucoma. Glaucoma is the most common irreversible eye disease in the world with over 70 million affected. The most critical value here is the intraoccular pressure (IOP) in your eye – when it is too high, the optic nerve could be damaged irreversibly. Here we bring the Tonopix a measuring device with an app, where you can measure and analyse your IOP easy and secure, for a better treatment.

How the idea was born

The story starts in a uni-klinik in Mainz, Germany in 2023 where Marco’s girlfried lies in the patients bed. She just had eye surgery because of a glaucoma that has developed during the last three years. She was lucky that it was found fairly quickly.

 

Glaucoma patients have to wait long times before, during and after the procedure for many measurements and appointments. Between them are often times with uncertainty because the inter ocular eye pressure (IOP) could rise anytime dangerously high – with the potiential for an irreverable vision loss.

 

So, we asked the question: “Why isn’t there a small device that you can use to measure your own IOP? Just like a thermometer or blood pressure test.” With that in mind Marco started studying Medical Engineering and developing a device that does exactly that. A safe and affordable measuring tool without direct eye contact.
