NORWOOD Device & Diagnostics Announces Agreement with OCuSOFT Inc.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, TX, UNITED STATES, October 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- NORWOOD Device & Diagnostics, a privately-held ophthalmic device company developer of the Nighthawk™ and Nighthawk™ Pro slit lamps incorporating Dry Eye imaging and Anterior Segment diagnostics, is pleased to announce a strategic co-marketing and sales agreement has been reached with OCuSOFT Inc., a company recognized as developing the first eyelid hygiene cleansing agent. With increased interest in Dry Eye and Ocular Surface Disease, the Nighthawk™ Pro Model goes even further to provide Dry Eye diagnostic testing including tear meniscus height, non- invasive tear breakup time and lipid layer analysis. While the Nighthawk™ Dry Eye and Imaging systems can accurately diagnose various Dry Eye conditions, the wide-ranging therapeutic Dry Eye therapy products offered by OCuSOFT^® can address these conditions offering the practitioner a full circle of care from diagnosis to treatment options.

Rick Norwood, President and founder of NORWOOD Device and Diagnostics states “NORWOOD Device has grown steadily over the years; however, I have always thought with the right partner, NORWOOD could go even further in reaching its true potential. Finding that right partner was the key; someone that we could trust and go “all-in” with. We believe we have the right partner with OCuSOFT^® which has, from the beginning of their business, been an innovator. We are delighted to join forces with them to deliver full circle Dry Eye care from diagnosis to treatment.”

Cynthia Barratt, CEO and co-founder of OCuSOFT Inc. spoke similarly in describing the NORWOOD/OCuSOFT^® relationship: “By sheer serendipity, I met Rick on a plane ride to a trade show in Las Vegas. That chance meeting gave me and my co-founder, Nat Adkins, our Executive Chairman, the opportunity to get to know Rick and his business. While the business synergies were obvious, Rick’s character and humble beginnings, like ours, gave us both the comfort to know this was the right relationship at the right time”, she concluded.
