Ocutech

Ocutech, founded in 1984, is a worldwide leader in developing advanced hi-quality telescopic low vis We welcome your inquiries.

The original Ocutech bioptic telescope, called the VES, was invented by Ocutech’s founding president, Russ Pekar, Ph.D., who is himself visually impaired. Dr. Pekar knows personally the needs and challenges faced daily by the visually impaired, and he is devoted to creating low vision aids that are effective, easy to use, attractive and comfortable to wear. Ocutech is committed to the needs of the visually impaired and supports its products with generous warranties. Ocutech Low Vision Aids are available through doctors and clinics that specialize in low vision care throughout the world. In 1996, Ocutech received worldwide attention when it created the first and only autofocusing bioptic telescope called the VES-AutoFocus. The VES-AutoFocus development project took over 6 years and almost $1 million to complete. Now, thousands throughout the world wear the VES-AutoFocus and experience the closest to normal magnified vision possible from a low vision aid. Individuals who had never been successful with bioptic telescopes gained new-found freedom with the VES-AutoFocus. “It changed my life” many have said. In 1999 Ocutech received the prestigious WINSTON GORDON AWARD from the Canadian National Institute for the Blind in honor of its innovative work to create the VES-AutoFocus.

Diabetic Eye Disease Month: Protecting Vision Through Awareness
November is recognized as Diabetic Eye Disease Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of eye health for people living with diabetes. With more than 30 million Americans affected by diabetes, the risk of vision loss and blindness from diabetic eye diseases is a serious concern that requires proactive care.

🌟 Why It Matters
Diabetes can lead to several eye complications, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataracts, and macular edema. These conditions often develop silently, without obvious symptoms, until vision is already compromised. Early detection through regular eye exams is the most effective way to prevent irreversible damage.

️ Protecting Your Vision
Get yearly eye exams — even if your vision feels fine.

Manage blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol to reduce risks.

Adopt healthy lifestyle habits like balanced nutrition, exercise, and not smoking.
