Smart Vision Exams – The Procedure:
- Preparation:
- The patient sits comfortably, holding the SVOne Enterprise device.
- The device consists of an iPhone (or compatible iPod Touch) with the Smart Vision app installed.
- Alignment and Calibration:
- The examiner aligns the device with the patient’s eye.
- The patient focuses on a grid of red dots projected onto their retina.
- The examiner ensures proper alignment for accurate measurements.
- Wavefront Aberrometry:
- The core technology of the SVOne is wavefront aberrometry.
- As the patient looks at the grid, the iPhone camera captures images of the reflected dots.
- These dots create a unique pattern based on the eye’s refractive properties.
- Analysis and Refractive Error Measurement:
- The Smart Vision app analyzes the dot movement.
- Discrepancies in the pattern reveal refractive errors:
- Farsightedness: If dots move away from the original grid.
- Nearsightedness: If dots move within the grid.
- Astigmatism: Indicated by an oval-shaped pattern.
- Remote Doctor Review:
- All captured data is transmitted to a network of remote eye care professionals.
- These experts review the results.
- Within 24 hours, they provide doctor-approved prescriptions.
- Patient Access:
- Patients receive their prescriptions via a password-protected web portal.
- They can access their results and share them with opticians or eyewear providers.
