The founding team

Why this team ?

The 3 founders of  EyeTechCare came together in the formation of the company to combine their skills and provide the company with substained development and growth.

The skills are extremely complimentary and provide EyeTechCare in-house with all the know-how to run the company and rapidly develop its product, manufacture it, obtain the necessary authorisations and market it.

This has been a winning strategy as EyeTechCare, in approximately 2 years, has been able to move from the idea stage to the stage of a functional marketable device providing a new solution for the treatment of glaucoma.
