Closing the Glaucoma Detection Gap Across Africa

AI EYE TESTING IN AFRICA

Africa carries a disproportionate share of the world’s preventable blindness. Glaucoma prevalence across sub-Saharan Africa is among the highest globally, onset is earlier, progression is faster — and the ratio of ophthalmologists to population is a fraction of what is needed. Conventional visual field testing equipment is expensive, difficult to maintain, and concentrated in a small number of urban centres. Eyeonic was built for exactly this challenge. Our AI-powered platform turns any standard computer or tablet into a validated visual field testing device, bringing hospital-grade glaucoma detection to district hospitals, community clinics, and outreach programmes without capital equipment or specialist infrastructure.

Why Eyeonic Is Built for African Healthcare Settings:

Approved Across Multiple African Countries: Eyeonic has achieved regulatory approval in multiple African countries as part of its international expansion, giving healthcare partners a validated, deployable platform today — not a future promise.
Active Research Partnerships in Uganda and South Africa: Eyeonic collaborates with clinical researchers in Uganda and South Africa, contributing African clinical evidence to the platform’s international validation programme.
No Specialist Hardware, No Maintenance Burden: Eyeonic runs on any connected computer or tablet. There is no perimeter to purchase, calibrate, repair, or house — removing the equipment barriers that keep visual field testing out of most African clinical settings.
Designed for Screening at Scale: Built on Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure, Eyeonic supports high-volume deployment across national screening programmes, NGO outreach initiatives, and hospital networks.
