About Us
Our Mission
Pioneering a new class of treatments for neuro-visual disorders.
Around 15 million Americans suffer from vision loss caused by deficiencies in the brain, instead of any structural issues with the eyes. Traditional therapeutic modalities are unable to properly target and treat these deficits, leaving a significant unmet need.
By harnessing the latest in digital technology, we're creating an entirely new category of medicines to address these conditions. We develop software products that generate therapeutic visual stimuli and deliver them to the patient through a virtual reality headset, using the eyes to stimulate the brain. The success of our amblyopia therapeutic provides proof-of-concept for our broader platform.
