IbisVision expands

Glasgow-based remote ophthalmic technology developer IbisVision has raised £4.5m in growth funding to open offices in the US and expand within the EU. 

The money will be used to double its workforce and open an office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company said it expected to ramp up sales in the US after receiving Food and Drug Administration listing in March 2023. 

Within Europe, IbisVision said it was in discussions with a ‘significant number of well-known eye care brands’ to develop partnerships for its platform, which allows optometrists to perform standard eye tests over the internet and enable entire optical prescriptions to be conducted remotely.
