Vision Assessment

Tradiational vision exams such as the visual acuity chart, undergone by hundreds of millions of patients worldwide every year, are manual, subjective, time-consuming and dependent on the examiner’s abilities and experience.

When performed on children, traditional vision exams may be inaccurate when not performed properly, mainly for young children who can’t always cooperate with the examiner’s instructions or communicate what they’re seeing. This may result in frustration and loss of cooperation with the patient, leading to undetected or misdiagnosed vision impairments. Though traditional eye exams can be accurate when thoroughly performed, they are time consuming and require significant effort for the eye care provider.

Digital and automated eye examination is a relatively new approach in vision care. It is based on digital technologies for accurate and objective measurements while identifying visual disorders.

Novel digital and automated vision testing devices require minimal patient cooperation. The tests are fast, accurate, and objective. Since these devices are simple to use, they can be operated by any trained individual at a hospital, clinic, or even at the optic store.

In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of vision exams and offer a more comprehensive set of vision exams, NovaSight has developed the EyeSwift®, followed by its second-generation device, the EyeSwift®^PRO, which is a comprehensive, eye-tracking-based vision diagnostic system.
