This is Retinar

Retinar is an Argentine startup born from over a decade of research in artificial intelligence applied to ophthalmology. We combine the knowledge of retina experts, machine learning specialists, and medical technology professionals to create simple, accessible, and effective solutions. Our software easily integrates with non-invasive, low-cost devices, helping to transform the diagnosis and prevention of visual diseases with cutting-edge technology.

Our Mission

At Retinar, we use artificial intelligence to make the diagnosis of visual diseases like diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma earlier, more accurate, and accessible. Our goal is to integrate advanced technology into the healthcare system to improve patient care and optimize medical work. We work to make quality ophthalmology available to everyone, reducing preventable blindness and bringing innovation where it’s needed most.
