Challenge

Optometrists rely on complex instruments like autorefractors to assess refractive errors, requiring specialized equipment and trained staff. This limits screening to clinics, leaving schools, workplaces, and remote areas underserved. OptikosPrime needed to deliver the same reliable optical principles in a mobile format, ensuring accuracy without costly hardware.

Solution

VisionCheck adapts clinically proven optical techniques, analyzing pupil light reflections to detect myopia and hyperopia using only smartphone hardware, no calibration or external tools required. The app’s intuitive design and automated quality checks ensure reliable results, flagging inconclusive cases for retakes. This supports triage in clinics, schools, and workplaces.

Results

Reliable Screening, Anywhere

VisionCheck delivers the same trusted optical principles used by eye care professionals, adapted for smartphones. By analyzing how light reflects through the pupil, it detects refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and, with advanced tools, astigmatism. This calibration-free, non-invasive approach enables accurate, accessible screening in diverse settings, from clinics to community programs.

What sets our solution apart is the integration of proven optical science into a user-friendly mobile platform, bringing precision vision screening to everyone.‍
