Revolutionizing Medication Delivery for Ocular Conditions

At District 3, we're excited to showcase OcuVista Solutions, an innovative pre-seed venture in the Health sector founded by Bishakh Rout. This forward-thinking entrepreneur is developing transformative Medtech solutions that address significant challenges in eyecare delivery.

The Challenge

Traditional eye drops present considerable difficulties for many patients:

• Requiring precise self-administration
• Needing frequent application throughout the day
• Resulting in poor medication adherence
• Leading to suboptimal treatment outcomes

These limitations create a significant barrier to effective treatment for millions of people with various eye conditions.

The Innovation

Bishakh has developed a groundbreaking solution: an add-on polymer for existing contact lenses that revolutionizes medication delivery. This innovative approach:

• Allows for controlled release of medication directly into the eye over time
• Eliminates the need for frequent self-administration of eye drops
• Improves medication adherence and treatment effectiveness
• Works with commonly available contact lens platforms

Expanding Impact

OcuVista's technology has potential applications far beyond its initial focus:

• Starting with treatment for glaucoma and dry eye
• Expanding to chronic inflammation conditions
• Addressing myopia control
• Exploring additional applications for sustained drug release beyond eye care

This versatility positions OcuVista to transform multiple areas of healthcare delivery through innovative drug release mechanisms.

Purpose-Driven Innovation

Bishakh was inspired to create OcuVista by a desire to make a meaningful difference in healthcare, developing solutions that help people overcome limitations in their treatment options. This purpose-driven approach has guided the company's development and continues to inform its strategic direction.

Success also stems from the personal growth that we experience as a result of going through this process."
