Ocura

Help keep Ocura free

Ocura's dry eye screening is free for everyone, with no selling of your data. Running it still costs money — servers, storage, reliability, and ongoing development. If Ocura is useful to you, an optional contribution helps cover those costs.

This is entirely voluntary. Nothing about the app is gated behind it.

Supporter options are coming soon. Until then, the best way to help is to use the app and tell us what to improve.

What your support funds

  • Servers and storage. Keeping the backend online so your history syncs and your reports load reliably.
  • Privacy by design. Blink analysis runs on your device and your video is never uploaded. Keeping it that way — rather than monetising your data — is a deliberate, ongoing cost.
  • Ongoing development. Improving accuracy, fixing issues, and building features people actually ask for.

Support never changes your care

Whether or not you contribute, you get the same screening, the same severity scoring, and the same guidance. Ocura is a screening and self-tracking tool, not a diagnosis, and paying does not change that for better or worse.

Common questions

Does supporting Ocura change my results?

No. Screening, scoring, and recommendations are identical for everyone. Support does not unlock different medical accuracy, faster analysis, or special treatment — it only helps keep the service running.

Is this a donation?

No. Ocura is not a registered nonprofit, so this is not a tax-deductible donation. It is a voluntary contribution toward running costs from people who find the app useful.

Is Ocura a diagnosis?

No. Ocura is a screening and self-tracking tool. It can highlight patterns worth attention, but it does not diagnose dry eye disease or replace an eye care professional.

What happens to the core app if I don't contribute?

Nothing changes. Blink screening, questionnaires, your results, and safety guidance stay free and fully available. Support is always optional.

Other ways to help

Not everyone can or wants to contribute money — that is completely fine. Sharing Ocura with someone who stares at screens all day, or telling us what is confusing, helps just as much.

Ocura is for screening and self-tracking, not diagnosis or treatment. If you have eye pain, sudden vision changes, or other concerning symptoms, contact an eye care professional.
