Who we are

We are a team of ophthalmologists from Stanford School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University, Wills Eye Hospital, and Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

DropMate was founded in response to the dramatic shifts in infection control during the pandemic, and the surge in environmental waste that followed.

We are motivated to make eye care safer, more efficient, and more sustainable.
