Pilot open · A Digital Optometry Solutions product

Parents spend thousands slowing their child's myopia. Prove it's working.

MyoTrack measures how fast a child's short-sightedness is progressing, compares it to what you'd expect without treatment, and turns the answer into a report a parent actually understands — from the spectacle prescription you already take.

How it works

From the chair to the parent's inbox, in four steps

No spreadsheet, no flipping back through three years of cards to work out whether anything has changed.

  1. Capture the visitSphere, cylinder and axis for each eye on a tablet, spherical equivalent calculated for you. A built-in timer keeps the practice honest about the two-minute target.
  2. Get the verdictMyoTrack works out the progression rate, compares it to the age-expected rate for an untreated child, and returns controlled, borderline or rapid — before the child leaves the room.
  3. Show the parentA one-page report in plain language with the growth chart, what you're doing, and what they can do at home. Print it or send it on WhatsApp; an email goes out automatically.
  4. Bring them backEvery review that falls due is queued with the WhatsApp message ready to send. Children leave myopia programmes between visits — this is how you stop it.

You don't need a biometer.

Most myopia software assumes you can measure axial length; outside ophthalmology, very few South African practices can. MyoTrack is built the other way round: cycloplegic refraction is a first-class measurement with its own thresholds. Axial length is there if you have it — and if you buy a biometer later, every existing record keeps working.

Built for clinical practice

Everything the programme needs. Nothing it doesn't.

The verdict

A verdict, not a number dump

Controlled, borderline or rapid — with the arithmetic shown underneath, so you can always see exactly how the answer was reached.

Treatment

Combination treatment plans

Record an optical modality, an atropine concentration, or both together with your instructions to the family. Outcomes attach to what the child was really on.

The report

Reports that justify the fee

One page, plain language, your practice branding. The growth chart shades the gap between where the child is and where they'd have been untreated.

Communication

Guardian emails, sent for you

A welcome email when a child joins and a progress email after each review — on the same infrastructure as DryCheck.

Recalls

Reviews that actually happen

Overdue and due-soon children are queued with the message drafted. Every send is logged against the child's record.

Analytics

Your own outcome data

Mean progression by prescription, treatment mix, overdue reviews, programme value — numbers about your own patients no practice can currently produce.

In the consulting room

Swivel the tablet and show them

Parents agree to treatment when they understand what's at stake. MyoTrack has a chairside explainer built in: the family drags a slider, the eye stretches, the picture blurs, and the named risks escalate as it goes. Then it draws their own child's road to age seventeen — treated versus untreated.

  • An interactive eye the family stretches themselves
  • Why the risks climb — named conditions, in plain words
  • This child's projection to seventeen, with the gap shaded
How we handle the clinical science

MyoTrack won't claim more than it can measure

Versioned, referenced thresholds

Every threshold and age-expected growth figure lives in one versioned configuration, signed off by a named clinical advisor and referenced to published literature. Each verdict is stamped with the version that produced it.

No manufacturer percentages

MyoTrack reports the slowing it has actually measured in that child. A change smaller than the repeatability of the measurement is reported as no change — never as a success.

Decision support, on the record

MyoTrack does not diagnose and does not prescribe — every clinical decision is recorded against the practitioner who made it.

POPIA from the first screen

Guardian consent is captured, with a name and a date, before anything clinical can be stored.

Pricing

One plan. No surprises.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a biometer to use MyoTrack?

No. MyoTrack is built around cycloplegic refraction, which is how the large majority of South African practices monitor myopia. Refraction has its own progression thresholds and its own age-expected comparison. If you do have a biometer, axial length is recorded alongside and takes precedence — and if you buy one later, every existing record keeps working.

Can I record combination treatment?

Yes. A plan is an optical modality, an atropine concentration, or both together, with the instructions you gave the family. Adding atropine to a spectacle lens is recorded as one plan, and outcomes are attributed to what the child was actually on at the time.

How long does a visit take to capture?

The target is under two minutes on a tablet, and MyoTrack times itself so you can see whether the practice is hitting it. Sphere, cylinder and axis per eye, with the spherical equivalent calculated automatically.

What does the parent actually receive?

A one-page report in plain language — the growth chart, whether the treatment is working, what you're doing, and what to do at home — plus a welcome email when their child joins and a progress email after each review.

Ready to stop guessing whether it's working?

Built by a South African optometrist who was tired of eyeballing old scripts to answer the question every parent asks. Pilot practices help shape the product and get early access.
