 The equipment aims for smooth and quick eye checkups and detection of eye diseases in real-time 

C3 Med-Tech, involved in the development and manufacturing of ophthalmic screening devices, announced that it has secured an undisclosed amount from Industrial Metal Powders to launch new telemedicine and AI-enabled portable equipment for smooth and quick eye checkups and detecting eye diseases in real-time. 

The integration of telemedicine and AI technology will allow for immediate, accurate diagnosis and timely intervention, significantly improving the chances of preventing visual impairment and blindness.

According to the statement, the company’s mission is to reduce avoidable blindness in India by developing affordable and portable ophthalmic screening devices. The strategic investment marks a significant milestone for C3 Med-Tech, with funding the company plans to expand its presence across India and globally via marketing efforts, team building and research and development for future products. 

India faces a significant shortage of ophthalmologists, with only about 30,000 registered specialists serving a population of 1.3 billion. Unlike traditional eye check up equipment that is heavy, expensive, and requires specialist operation, C3 Med-Tech addresses this critical gap with their portable, lightweight, battery operated, and user friendly eye screening devices.

C3 Med-Tech’s patented and US FDA approved devices: C3 Vision-Portable Slit Lamp, C3 Smartphone Fundus Camera, C3 Slit Lamp Imaging System offer an approach to diagnosing eye diseases such as cataract, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, corneal infections, ocular surface disorders and majority of other eye diseases which can cause visual impairment and blindness. 

Their upcoming product is a system for recording eye surgeries. This  product offering C3 will be covering all the facets of Ophthalmic diagnostics, right from eye screening in low resource areas to recording eye surgeries in the operation theatre
