Imagine using your smart phone, within 60 seconds get an eye prescription then go to a virtual try-on shop, customise style/design, order dispatched with 24 hours. Imagine no more!
About
In 2020, more than 44 percent of adults who purchased eyeglasses used the internet to assist in their acquisition of prescription eyeglasses, up from 22 percent in 2017. With 14.1 percent of 2020 eyeglass buyers using the internet to directly purchase eyeglasses throughout the year, about 30 percent of 2020 eyeglass buyers used the internet to compare prices, find the type or style of eyeglasses they wanted to buy or find the ECP or retailer they bought from in-person later. These observations hide the fact that none of the online sales took place without a face to face consultation for a prescription. EyeWear is about to change that concept via .... * Diagnosis Application - medical algorithms, utilising a 60-second diagnostic video and AR process, allows accurate eye prescriptions to be undertaken. * Ecommerce - Encompasses a virtual glasses frame try-on including colour, shape and pattern match, allowing consumers control over their selection while having a mirror vision of them, wearing the different products. * Data Platform - The platform stores the data of users to cross profile data sets and research outputs, to develop an accurate diagnostic profile with statistical and evidence-based predictions * IoT Platform - The IoT platform makes it possible to customise the best fit in eyewear and connect with records to analyse historical progression of any additional eye health issues. * Referral and EHR Platform - Allows the client analysis and records to be referred to ophthalmologists, hospitals and associated eye health specialists for customised specialist care. People who require such support invariably have no idea of their condition. * Lens Manufacturing - The lens manufacturing will be completely automatic through the use of robotics and 3D printing. Client data is utilised to make minute vision adjustments based upon the diagnostic analysis. * Frames Manufacturing - The design and manufacturing process enables production of a unique set of frames for each customer, with click-on functionality, using 3D printing.
Key Benefits
Remote and developing economies, along with economically compromised individuals, have little or no opportunity to access a total vision solution for under $50. The cost gap for vision impairment or blindness that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed is in excess of $US 25 billion. Yet more than 81% of the global population has a smartphone and almost 100% can gain access to one.
Applications
The majority of people requiring ophthalmological support cannot access or afford the eye care they need. If you can access a smart phone then the opportunity for change is at hand. Changed manufacturing, software development and data analysis enables ongoing analysis and support for an individual at a total cost that is affordable.
