How did Eye C Better get started and what is their mission?
Author: Dr. Joel Solano
Eye C Better started during the summer of 2020 in response to the pandemic. Spring of that year was scary and a time of great uncertainty. Like many diseases in medicine, Glaucoma healthcare was being neglected and people were losing vision due to the lack of in-person healthcare visits. The pandemic really brought to light the void that is created in glaucoma care when patients can’t see their doctors. The mission of Eye C Better is to prevent vision loss for patients while improving their QoL. We have created a platform for delivering healthcare to patients during the 99% of their lives where they are not at their doctor appointments. By working with the patient and their doctors, we keep the patients connected on their healthcare journey. Empowering patients to own their healthcare drives their engagement and helps them remain persistent with their therapies.
