Product: EyeQue Insight
Top Line: EyeQue is releasing the EyeQue Insight visual acuity screener, a handheld device that tests clarity of distance vision and is designed for consumer use.
Close Up: The EyeQue Insight is a gamified 20/20 screener that combines a binocular viewer, mobile application and cloud-based service into a “virtualized eye chart exam” for ongoing measurement of changes in vision.
“The shipping of EyeQue Insight is a major milestone for the company, reflecting years of rigorous testing and research. We have put a tremendous effort behind our acuity vision screener, allowing children and adults to determine the sharpness of vision with an affordable and accurate vision test,” said John Serri, co-founder and CTO/COO of EyeQue.
Careen Caputo, OD, MPH, an advisor to the company, said the EyeInsight can play an important role in helping to detect the early onset myopia.
“It is alarming to see the global rise in myopia due in large part to widespread adoption of electronic devices and spending too much time indoors, particularly among children.” Sunlight helps develop normal eyesight and the unfortunate reality is that too many children are sitting inside playing with electronic devices and focusing on devices too close to their eyes instead of running around outdoors. My hope is that the EyeQue Insight will help parents, doctors and schools measure eyesight on a more frequent basis so that we can diagnose and mitigate the onset of nearsightedness more broadly.”
Key features:
• Screens vision for 20/20 to 20/400 in under 3 minutes, providing exact measures of single and dual eye performance.
• Creates a digital vision history in which a change in vision indicates that a doctor’s visit would be advised.
• Tests the accuracy of current glasses or contacts, indicating when an updated prescription may be required.
• Instantly records and securely stores results, making data available to share with others.
• One EyeQue Insight can be shared with many, making it a value for families and suitable for testing large groups.
Vital Stats: The EyeQue Insight is available now with mobile apps for both iOS and Android phones on Amazon, Indiegogo and on the EyeQue website. The device costs $129.99, including one year of subscription to the cloud-based EyeQue vision health tracking service for the first user. Each additional user requires an annual subscription of $4.99.
