IbisVision
A remote vision-test and refraction platform supervised online by clinical staff, with self-guided prescription verification done in the cloud
What is it
IbisVision is a remote eye-care platform from the UK that provides clinician-supervised online vision tests and refraction through cloud software, and also supports self-guided prescription verification. When users take a test remotely, clinical staff still supervise the process online, balancing remote convenience with professional oversight.
What problem it solves
For people with limited mobility, living remotely, or short on time, going in person to a clinic for a vision test isn't easy; and clinics also want to extend their service reach. IbisVision uses a cloud platform to bring vision tests and refraction online while keeping the checkpoint of clinician supervision, so remote tests aren't just rough self-measurements. It suits clinics and optometry providers wanting to offer online eye services, and users needing to verify an existing prescription remotely. The self-guided prescription verification also makes it more convenient for those who already have a prescription to confirm it. Note that remote-test accuracy is affected by device, environment, and network, and whether it can replace a full clinical exam depends on the situation and regulations. Overall, it strikes a balance between convenience and professional oversight, extending eye care online.
