# Ocular Guard

> Ocular Guard is a clinical, doctor-oriented research platform on vision care and eye protection — UV and blue-light protection, macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, retinal health and the emerging research around peptides in vision care. Connects patients with licensed eye doctors and with the EyeCyte platform. Educational only — not medical advice.

Ocular Guard is an independent directory. People describe what they are looking for; the platform matches them with independent doctors. Content is educational only — not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Part of the R0cketShip network; sponsors: Somatic Experiences (https://somaticexperiences.com) and Therapists.plus (https://therapists.plus). Licensed providers: Providers.plus (https://providers.plus).
