Prototype

EYEDOO is a start-up from the Department of Optometry and Vision Science at the University of Latvia, developing computerized device for vision screening and training for children.

VISION SCREENING

Our method allows to detect a variety of vision functions with a simple head-mounted device in one set:

• visual acuity at far and near
• colour vision
• accommodation facility
• binocular vision test
• heterophoria
• stereoacuity
• vergence facility
• fusional reserve tests

Our study found that 20-30% of school-aged children in Latvia have vision problems. Very often specific vision dysfunctions remain undiscovered, which results in problems with reading, regular headaches, rapid fatigability during the educational process etc.

EYEDOO unique methodology allows to detect a higher variety of visual dysfunctions with a relatively simple device. The simplicity in operation makes it suitable for a wide use by non-professional staff, which schools can provide onsite.

VISION TRAINING

The device we offer contains all the necessary components to provide not only vision screening but also vision training.

The set of various vision training exercises is developed and offered along with the device software. An optometrist will be able to create an individual training program for each patient, according to the test results.

All data about the patient’s training progress will be stored in the cloud server along with the test results and will be accessible by an optometrist at any time.

CURRENT STAGE

The methodology is tested on more than 11 000 children in Latvian schools. Proven specificity and sensitivity of our screening method is 87% and 77% respectively.

The prototyping of the computerized device is complete and in April 2022 started field tests in collaboration with Latvian optometrists.

We have agreed on collaboration with one of the biggest optical retail chains in Baltics, as well as several smaller ones from Estonia and Italy.

Currently EYEDOO team consists of 10 professionals, including optometrists, engineers, and business development specialist.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

• Industrial partners

for further facilitation of the final product and commercialization

• Optometrists and optical chains

as potential customers and final users of the device

• Venture healthcare investors & funds

to support commercialization of this project at the early stage

• Non-governmental organizations

to help us providing vision screening services free of charge for children where they need this
