Ocutech

Ocutech is a private ophthalmic medical device company focused on low-vision assistive products rather than therapeutics. Founded in 1984 and based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the company designs, assembles, tests, and ships prescription bioptic telescope systems and related visual-assist devices for people with visual impairment. Its product portfolio includes multiple wearable bioptic telescope lines for distance and near vision as well as SideSight, a lateral awareness alert device for side-vision loss conditions such as homonymous hemianopia. Ocutech primarily serves low-vision specialists, eye care professionals, and visually impaired patients seeking functional vision improvement for activities such as mobility, education, daily living, and in some jurisdictions driving. The company appears to operate as an active, privately held commercial-stage device manufacturer with in-house production and customization capabilities.
