Our vision is preserving sight through home tonometry

“IOP is currently the only modifiable risk factor for slowing down optic nerve damage to prevent vision loss. The goal of MyEyes is to empower the patient to be able to measure their own IOP at various times during the day or night, thus enabling them to better manage their glaucoma.”
– Barbara Wirostko MD FARVO, Glaucoma Specialist, Adjunct Prof of Ophthalmology and Bioengineering, University of Utah, SLC.

MyEYES was founded by the collaboration of a patient, a leading glaucoma specialist and an ophthalmic technician. After personally experiencing the impact that using a home tonometry device can provide, Paul, our cofounder, decided to take action to help other people learn how to improve treatment of their glaucoma based on a fundamental fact: IOP (eye pressure) can fluctuate over 24 hrs – sometimes even to high and dangerous levels – and a single pressure check every several months at one point during the day is usually NOT sufficient.

Our mission is to make it easier to get home tonometers into hands of the people who need it. In this way, IOP data collected over the span of a week or two at several time points during the day and or night can help to direct an individual patients’ doctors to provide the ideal treatment for that patient’s tailored need. The result: the most effective way to proactively slow the damaging and blinding progression of this horrible disease.

MEET OUR TEAM

Our MyEYES team, in coordination with the patients’ doctors, is dedicated to helping to collect this valuable data that will ultimately direct one very important aspect of managing your glaucomatous disease and giving YOU control of your overall eye health.
