Occuity is developing novel optical monitoring & diagnostic devices.
About us
Occuity's mission is to improve the lives of hundreds of millions of people by developing painless, contact-free screening & monitoring solutions for health conditions such as #diabetes, #myopia, #glaucoma and #Alzheimer's Disease. Occuity is a UK-based medical technology company specialising in the research, design, and production of handheld non-contacting optical instruments for use in healthcare, diagnostics, and monitoring. Occuity’s scanning technology uses light to obtain precise measurements of different structures within the eye. This will enable direct measurements of the eye for optometrists and ophthalmologists but also other more general health conditions such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s Disease to be monitored. Occuity's IP includes 9granted international patents with a further 5 applications. Our Products Optometry & Ophthalmology: We're designing and developing a range of handheld, optical non-contacting devices. Our first device will be the world’s first handheld, non-contacting optical pachymeter – The Occuity PM1 – due to launch in 202. The underlying technology in the PM1 will be built upon to look at other measurements within the eye including, axial length, pupillometry and keratometry for use in both human and veterinary optometry. Disease Screening Building upon our patented technology, Occuity's disease screening products, will make it easier and cheaper to screen for diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer's in non-clinical settings such as high street opticians, pharmacies and care homes. Disease Monitoring Occuity’s vision is to deliver the world’s first non-invasive, non-contacting glucose monitor. Instead of relying on finger stick blood tests to provide blood glucose readings, Occuity is in the process of researching & developing a non-contact handheld optical device to determine the blood glucose level by measuring subtle changes within the anterior chamber of the eye.

This post from Myopia Focus highlights the importance of accurate information and regular eye health check-ups. Stay informed about myopia and evidence-based interventions. #myopia #awareness #ECPs #MyopiaManagement #EyeHealth

Eye Yoga?? No Thanks! At Myopia Focus, we work hard to raise awarness of myopia and educate parents as to what it 'really is', so when we saw This Morning's (ITV) feature on "Eye Yoga" - we felt we had to say something. We have sent an open letter to the producers of This Morning to address concerns about a recent segment on "eye yoga" that suggested it could enhance short-sighted vision. This claim is not supported by scientific evidence and directly contributes to misinformation - as could be seen in a follow up article in the Daily Mirror which carried even more damaging inaccuracies. Myopia is a serious global issue, affecting millions, and requires accurate, evidence-based interventions. The job of ECP's to increase awareness is hard enough. https://zurl.co/PsnE Read our full letter to learn more about the facts and what parents need to know about myopia and the scientifically proven strategies to minimise it's long term effects. #myopia #awareness #ITV #ThisMorning #BenShepheard #JessParkinson #CatDeeley #DailyMirror #ECPs #Myopiamanagement
