We are proud to announce that VisionCheck has been chosen as one of three finalists for the AI-X Award at Future Product Days. The award honours technologies that truly make a difference, and for us, that difference is all about making eye screening quick and accessible for everyone.

Real-world applications of VisionCheck

VisionCheck aims to provide dependable eye screening in more locations and scenarios, without requiring special training or equipment. Some of the key use cases already demonstrating strong results include:

Screening in rural communities and at home

VisionCheck has proven reliable when used by adults outside the clinic, making eye screening both straightforward and accessible in areas where optometry services are limited.

Seamless referrals to opticians

After screening, personal users can easily schedule an appointment for a proper eye test through our country-specific referral partners. This ensures a smooth journey from the initial check to professional care.

Identifying vision issues in children

Early results are promising in detecting both longsightedness and shortsightedness in children. This could mark a significant step in helping schools and parents quickly determine whether a child requires vision correction. Prompt identification is particularly vital in the fight against myopia.

Support for general practitioners

We are also seeing potential for VisionCheck to supplement the standard acuity test, enabling GPs to identify refractive errors without requiring additional training or equipment.

Collaboration makes it possible

From the very beginning, we’ve worked closely with UI / UX experts at KOLLAB on the user interface and experience. Their expertise has helped us make VisionCheck not only precise but also intuitive and enjoyable to use, a key factor when building technology for such a broad audience. This award is also a tribute to our collaboration with them.

“Awards like these are fun, and they remind us that we’re on the right track. But at the end of the day, the real reward is putting our products in the hands of users where they can make a difference.”

– Ståle Fredlund Husby, Co-founder & COO OptikosPrime

Recognition matters

Being shortlisted for awards like the AI-X Award not only confirms the technology behind VisionCheck but also highlights its potential to change how people worldwide access vision care. This recognition enhances our visibility, enabling us to establish new partnerships, strengthen existing collaborations, and accelerate our mission to make eye screening quick, accessible, and reliable for everyone.
