Receive next-morning eye infection PCR results
According to a study published in the Clinical Ophthalmology Journal, just in the United States, the annual direct cost of conjunctivitis (bacterial, viral, or chlamydial), one of the most common eye infections, has been estimated to be approximately $800 million.
Ocular or eye infections are caused by a wide range of pathogens (aerobic/anaerobic bacteria, fungi, parasites, or viruses), and each of these pathogens is capable of causing a wide spectrum of diseases. Testing can become more challenging in identifying the causative agent based on clinical presentation because they may or may not be distinctive.
Eye infection can have a profound effect on the patient’s general health as well as damaging sight. Identifying the causative agent of the infection and initiating appropriate antimicrobial therapy during the initial stages of the infection course is crucial to prevent the complications that such eye infections can cause.
Molecular diagnostics, such as pathogen-directed PCR, has revolutionized the field of eye infection testing. Simultaneous detection of several potentially causative pathogens allows for early diagnosis of the infection and initiation of treatment.
HealthTrackRx is changing the way ophthalmologists diagnose and treat eye infections, delivering next-morning, clinically actionable results. With ONE Universal Collection Device, we are able to identify a varied range of eye-infection-causing pathogens (even the ones that culture and microscopy cannot cultivate or detect). In addition, a personalized report highlights antibiotic resistance genes to help ophthalmologists prescribe the right treatment plan.

HealthTrackRx PCR Test vs. Culture Test
HealthTrackRx PCR testing identifies what culture misses, particularly fastidious organisms – the pathogens that are especially difficult, if not impossible, to culture.
HealthTrackRx PCR Test |
vs. |
Culture Test |
|---|---|---|
| Next-Morning Results | Turnaround Time | Results can take an average of 3–14 days |
| Our pathogen assay incorporates the latest in RT-PCR technology, targeting the most relevant viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens | Accuracy | Typically, only detects the primary pathogen |
| Rapid detection of fastidious organisms such as fungi, anaerobes and resistance genes | Detection | Extended incubation time for fungi and anaerobes, potential for “mixed flora” and no specificity of pathogens |
| We offer ONE universal collection device | Collection | Multiple collection devices, potential for contamination |
| Less susceptible to antibiotic use | Antibiotics | Is affected by antibiotic use |
