Problem
Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that requires frequent intraocular pressure monitoring, yet traditional testing requires clinic visits that are inconvenient and often too infrequent to catch dangerous changes. Patients are left blind to pressure fluctuations between appointments, risking silent vision loss.
Solution
Xala Health provides patients with access to the FDA-approved iCare® HOME2 tonometer, enabling self-measured eye pressure readings at home, similar to checking blood pressure. The device fits into daily routines, allowing patients to capture pressure data multiple times per day. This data is shared with ophthalmologists through an online platform, empowering collaborative treatment decisions. Xala Health simplifies the purchasing process by partnering with Sika Health to accept HSA/FSA cards and automatically identify eligible items at checkout.
Target Audience
Primary customers are glaucoma patients who need frequent intraocular pressure monitoring between ophthalmology appointments, along with their eye care providers who use the collected data for treatment management.
