Avedro is a leading commercial-stage ophthalmic medical technology company focused on treating corneal ectatic disorders and improving vision to reduce dependency on eyeglasses or contact lenses. Avedro’s proprietary Avedro Corneal Remodeling Platform strengthens, stabilizes and reshapes the cornea utilizing corneal cross-linking in minimally invasive and non-invasive outpatient procedures to treat corneal ectatic disorders and correct refractive conditions. The Avedro Corneal Remodeling Platform is comprised of Avedro’s KXL and Mosaic systems, each of which delivers ultraviolet A light, and a suite of proprietary single-use riboflavin drug formulations, which, when applied together to the cornea, induce a biochemical reaction called corneal collagen cross-linking.

GoCheck’s apps detect common vision disorders early, while they can still be treated.
Our first product, GoCheck Kids, serves over 6,000 pediatric teams in the U.S. and Europe in their quest to prevent vision impairment, the most prevalent disabling condition among children in the U.S. and many countries. Vision diseases usually lead to compromised learning, blindness, and even death. GoCheck Kids made early screening affordable, reducing the cost by over 60% by leveraging the iPhone’s manufacturing scale. It’s also FDA-registered and CE certified.
Eight of the leading childrens hospitals (e.g. Boston Children’s, Stanford, CHLA, Texas Childrens) voted GoCheck the #1 global pediatric health startup at SXSW 2018.
Our Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer is David Huang, co-inventor of Optical Coherence Tomography, the most widely used diagnostic in ophthalmology. GoCheck is backed by Interwest Partners (90 IPOs) and Marc Benioff (Salesforce founder/CEO).
