An Opportunity
to Transform
Glaucoma
Treatment

Glaucoma treatment is a lucrative drug market, worth more than $4 billion each year. BELKIN’s device has the opportunity to completely transform the glaucoma market from a medication dominated primary therapy, to one that is controlled by laser therapy, which will enhance adherence and improve control. BELKIN will have the opportunity to capture a significant share of this thriving market.

Glaucoma Patients Worldwide

BELKIN Laser offers a unique solution for glaucoma patients, providing a yearly treatment obviating the need for daily eye drops. BELKIN Laser addresses the biggest challenge in glaucoma medical treatment – poor compliance.
In low resource areas, the cost of eye drops is a major hurdle, while in high resource areas where medication is more affordable, the main barriers to medical adherence are forgetfulness and application difficulty.

Expanding Glaucoma Care
to More Practitioners

Due to the ease and accessibility of performing DSLT, effective glaucoma care can be opened to the larger population of cataract surgeons, general ophthalmologists and optometrists, who will not need the specialization and skill necessary to perform the conventional glaucoma laser (SLT) which requires a rotating lens on the eye.

ACG Solution

Exclusive solution for
Angle Closure Glaucoma

BELKIN’s Exclusive Solution for Angle Closure Glaucoma

Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is a common cause of blindness in East Asia. Over 40% of Chinese glaucoma patients suffer from ACG, which is a difficult disease to treat and is a preventable yet common cause of irreversible blindness in China.

The BELKIN laser device treats ACG easily and simply. A laser beam is delivered through the external part of the eye, thus overcoming the challenge of visualizing the narrow angle.

Unique Glaucoma Treatment

Simple, intuitive, fast and easy to use.
Will significantly expand the overall glaucoma treatment market, especially as a first-line treatment, before or in conjunction with eye drops.
Provides a solution for millions of glaucoma patients for whom medical or surgical treatment is not accessible, as there are not enough experts to treat them.

There is massive growth potential for BELKIN Laser by offering a treatment that can be provided by a much higher number of practitioners to a larger number of patients.
