C. Light Technologies has developed the Retitrack™, a compact retinal eye-tracking platform that measures fixational eye movements and saccades to provide objective metrics for assessing oculomotor function. This technology addresses the limitations of traditional bedside tools by enabling healthcare practitioners to accurately monitor neurodegenerative diseases through detailed analysis of eye movement patterns.

Problem
Current bedside tools and MRIs lack the specificity needed to accurately and objectively track and assess fixational eye movements (FEMs) at the photoreceptor level. This makes it difficult for healthcare providers to monitor and manage conditions affecting oculomotor function.
Solution
C. Light Technologies offers the Retitrack™, a compact, FDA-cleared retinal-tracking platform that measures saccades and fixational eye movements to provide objective oculometric data. The platform records FEM videos at the photoreceptor level and extracts motion patterns to assess saccadic and fixational metrics, such as speed, magnitude, and accuracy. This allows clinicians to visualize and quantify an individual's oculomotor health and visual experience over time, aiding in clinical decision-making and supplementing existing diagnostic tools. The Retitrack™ aims to provide an objective method to digitally capture and catalogue distinct FEM patterns accurately.
Target Audience
The primary users are healthcare providers who need accurate and objective tools to assess and monitor oculomotor function in patients with neurodegenerative, neuroinflammatory, and retinal diseases, as well as those with brain injuries or concussions.
