Digital ophthalmology is a rapidly growing sector within digital health. The digital health industry is experiencing a "perfect storm" of factors driving growth, including rising healthcare costs, increased consumer spending on health, and incentives from the Affordable Care Act. One accelerator program, Eye Focus Health Accelerators, supports over 16 eye care companies through a 12-week program providing financing, mentoring, product development support, and connections to ophthalmologists.
