Advanced Ophthalmic Systems introduces a hybrid approach

A remote visual acuity (VA) software platform has been launched by Advanced Ophthalmic Systems (AOS) in response to how healthcare is delivered to patients.

The company said patients demanded flexible, hybrid care options that worked with their lifestyles, and businesses could benefit from adopting this approach.

Ben David, general manager at AOS, said: ‘During extensive clinical testing the AOS VA system was shown to compare to the standard of care for an in-clinic visual acuity test and was 89% repeatable; these results genuinely stand us apart from the rest of the market.’

The software can be used on different devices when connected to the internet. The company said it uses a combination of semi-automated test algorithms and automated scoring to measure and calculate precise and reliable visual acuity test scores.
