La Jolla, CA, March 11, 2025 – Topcon Healthcare, Inc., RadiusXR®, and Glaukos Corporation (NYSE: GKOS) announced a new collaboration and the launch of RadiusXR’s new wearable vision testing platform – Inspire®. This collaboration unites RadiusXR’s innovative visual field platform and Topcon Healthcare’s global leadership in robotic diagnostics and digital healthcare solutions with Glaukos’ commitment to expanding patient access by democratizing the diagnosis of ophthalmic diseases such as glaucoma. Together, the companies aim to expand access and enable doctors to provide visual field exams and education to 100% of glaucoma patients who need this important test.

Inspire by RadiusXR is the only commercially available wearable vision diagnostic system that combines visual field testing correlated to the clinical standard with proven performance, onboard patient education, and data-driven intelligence to support more informed clinical decisions.¹ Six ounces and purpose-built for future expansion, Inspire extends beyond traditional diagnostics to support testing for other chronic and systemic conditions.

“The collaboration between RadiusXR, Topcon Healthcare, and Glaukos combines the experience and commitment of like-minded individuals with innovative diagnostic and therapeutic solutions to accelerate the transformation of healthcare towards a more integrated, personalized approach for diagnosis and treatment,” said Ali Tafreshi, CEO and President of Topcon Healthcare, Inc. “By intelligently combining data from the new Inspire wearable vision testing platform with our robotic diagnostics on the Harmony® digital health information platform, we are furthering our Healthcare from the Eye™ initiative with a truly dynamic digital healthcare ecosystem.”

The addition of the RadiusXR Inspire wearable visual field technology to Topcon Healthcare’s portfolio will streamline vision testing and make it more accessible for patients globally. Under this partnership, Topcon Healthcare will become the exclusive global distributor of the Inspire platform and will work with RadiusXR and Glaukos to expand the wearable diagnostic footprint through collaboration on commercialization efforts, research, and education. Additionally, Glaukos and Topcon Healthcare will work closely to advance patient engagement, education, and the digital eyecare ecosystem.

“We are pleased to partner with Topcon Healthcare to strengthen commercialization efforts for the RadiusXR technology and expand patient access to the Inspire platform,” said Thomas Burns, Chairman and CEO of Glaukos. “This collaboration aligns with our mission to meaningfully advance the standard of care in glaucoma and improve outcomes by democratizing visual field testing and access to the digital tools needed to enable effective patient care worldwide.” 

The launch of Inspire is a powerful collaboration between RadiusXR, Topcon Healthcare, and Glaukos, leveraging each company’s expertise to accelerate advancement of vision diagnostics. By integrating wearable vision testing with comprehensive ophthalmic imaging and AI-driven data analysis, the three companies aim to expand access to high-quality eye care, enabling earlier disease detection, and driving smarter diagnostics.
