What Ocura does — and where it stops.

Before you use a health-related app, you should be able to see how it works, what leaves your phone, what its results mean, and who is responsible for it.

Private by architecture

Camera frames are processed on your phone and are never recorded, stored, or uploaded.

A clear medical boundary

Ocura supports screening and self-tracking. It cannot diagnose a condition or replace an eye examination.

Version-aware symptom records

The verified OSDI path stays distinct from clearly labelled custom or legacy check-ins.

Questionnaire availability depends on the app version. In the safety update, the OSDI path remains verified and new PHQ-9 collection is disabled by default. Verified describes the app's implementation path; it does not claim independent clinical validation, regulatory clearance, or equivalence to a separately licensed ePRO deployment.

Data journey

Camera video stops at your device.

The app keeps the live camera stream separate from the metrics that support screening and self-tracking.

  1. 01

    Camera frames

    Used in real time during the blink check and never recorded.

  2. 02

    On-device analysis

    Facial landmarks are processed locally to measure blink behavior.

  3. 03

    Derived metrics

    Blink count, rate, completeness, and related metrics are retained.

  4. 04

    Optional account sync

    Derived metrics and provided records may sync after sign-in.

Guest mode

Start without an account

  • Screening records and optional health-profile data are not synced to an account.
  • Camera frames remain on your device and are never recorded.
  • Limited operational analytics and crash diagnostics may still be transmitted to operate and improve the app.

Optional account

Sync only after you sign in

  • Account information is used for authentication and account access.
  • Derived blink metrics, symptom records, and optional health-profile data may sync for cross-device access and longitudinal review.
  • Video and camera images are not included in account sync.

Account deletion is available in the app

Go to Profile > Account > Delete Account. The account is deactivated immediately and associated server data is scheduled for removal within 30 days.

What supports the screening estimate

  • A short camera-based check measures blink behavior using on-device facial landmarks.
  • The verified OSDI path provides a structured symptom record in the current safety update.
  • Available blink and symptom signals may be summarized into a screening estimate with confidence limits.
  • Repeated comparable records can support pattern and trend review when enough data is available.

What a phone cannot determine

  • A phone cannot examine the ocular surface, tear film, or other signs assessed during a clinical eye examination.
  • Lighting, camera position, face visibility, and user movement may affect blink-measurement quality.
  • Symptom check-ins are self-reported and can vary with context and timing.
  • A screening result cannot confirm, rule out, or identify the cause of a medical condition.

When to seek professional care

  • Your symptoms persist for more than a few weeks
  • You experience significant pain, sudden vision changes, or light sensitivity
  • Your screening results consistently show Moderate or Severe levels
  • Over-the-counter remedies haven't improved your comfort
  • You have underlying conditions that may affect your eyes
