September is observed as Sports Eye Safety Month, drawing attention to the importance of protecting vision and preventing eye injuries during sporting activities. As awareness around sports-related eye health grows, technology is also transforming how eye conditions can be screened, monitored and managed. From AI-powered retinal imaging and connected care platforms to personalised vision therapy, healthtech is making eye care more accessible, efficient and increasingly proactive.
1. Forus Health: Connecting AI, Imaging and Eye Care
Forus Health is reimagining the way eye care is delivered by bringing together advanced imaging devices, Artificial Intelligence and connected healthcare technologies to make quality eye care more accessible, timely and scalable.
At the heart of this transformation is FH-POISE™, Forus Health’s AI platform that turns retinal images into meaningful clinical insights. By supporting the early identification of ocular and systemic conditions, FH-POISE helps clinicians make faster, more informed decisions and brings the potential of AI closer to everyday healthcare.
Complementing this is FH TeleCare, a connected digital health cloud platform that brings screening, specialist consultations, AI-assisted analysis and collaboration together on a single secure ecosystem, helping connect patients and healthcare professionals, even across geographical boundaries.
Forus Health is also looking beyond the eye itself through Oculomics. It is exploring how the eye can offer valuable clues about a person’s overall health and help enable a more preventive approach to healthcare.
Together, these innovations reflect Forus Health’s larger vision: to move eye care beyond periodic screening and towards a future that is connected, secure and increasingly proactive. It offers technology that not only helps detect disease, but enables earlier action and better care.
2. Remidio: Making Advanced Retinal Imaging More Accessible
Remidio is working to simplify early detection by bringing advanced retinal imaging and AI closer to the point of care. Its portfolio includes portable retinal imaging devices and AI-powered platforms that support screening for conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Its technologies are designed to provide clinicians with fast, actionable insights while reducing dependence on highly specialised equipment and on-site specialists.
The company also combines imaging with connected care through Remidio Connect, a cloud-based platform that enables secure access to retinal images, AI outputs, clinical review and referrals. This approach can help streamline screening and follow-up while making quality eye care more practical across clinics, outreach programmes and other healthcare settings.
3. EyeSetu: Building a More Connected Vision-Care Ecosystem
EyeSetu is focused on making vision care more accessible through technology-enabled screening, assessment and consultation. Its approach brings together digital tools and eye-care professionals to support preventive vision care and improve access to services.
By enabling technology-assisted assessment and connecting patients with eye-care professionals, platforms such as EyeSetu can help reduce some of the barriers associated with traditional eye-care delivery. The broader shift towards digitally enabled vision care also creates opportunities for earlier identification of concerns and easier access to professional guidance, particularly for people who may face geographical or logistical barriers to visiting specialised centres.
4. EyeX Vision Care: Personalising Vision Therapy Through AI
EyeX Vision Care is using artificial intelligence and digital technology to make vision therapy more personalised and accessible. Its platform offers home-based vision therapy using interactive exercises, therapeutic games and adaptive programmes designed around individual visual needs.
The technology also incorporates progress tracking and personalised exercises, allowing users to follow their routines from home. EyeX additionally offers a Sports Vision programme focused on visual performance, while its broader platform addresses areas including amblyopia, strabismus, convergence issues and eye strain.
5. Artelus: Bringing AI Into Retinal Screening
Artelus is another Indian healthtech company working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and eye care. Its technology uses AI to analyse retinal images and support the identification of eye conditions, helping healthcare professionals make screening more efficient.
The use of AI in retinal screening can be particularly valuable where access to specialists is limited. By helping analyse images and identify cases that may require further clinical attention, such solutions can support scalable screening programmes and enable healthcare systems to move towards earlier detection and more timely referrals.
Conclusion
The evolution of eye care is increasingly being shaped by technologies that make screening more intelligent, care more connected and treatment or vision support more personalised. From AI-powered retinal imaging to digital vision therapy and tele-eye-care platforms, Indian healthtech innovators are helping expand what is possible in eye care. As awareness around sports eye safety continues to grow, these innovations can complement preventive practices and contribute to a more accessible, technology-enabled approach to protecting and preserving vision.
