OphtiCare automates routine eye exams inside a virtual-reality headset: patients go through a full battery of tests in about 10 minutes, guided by a virtual assistant, and the results go to an ophthalmologist for diagnosis. FlyDevs built the software behind it — the VR testing lab, the AI that flags false negatives, and the monitoring and reporting platform.
Challenges
Ophthalmologists spend much of their consultation time running routine tests instead of diagnosing, and waiting rooms fill up. OphtiCare wanted to move those tests into a headset that runs without a specialist present.
Clinical tests in VR have to be reliable: each eye tested on its own, results that hold up across sessions, and patients — adults and children from age 10 — kept on track without a professional guiding every step.
Results had to reach the ophthalmologist in a format clinics already work with, and the kit had to run anywhere: clinics, school screenings, mobile units and government campaigns.
Solution
FlyDevs built OPHTA VR, the software that turns a standalone headset into a 3D testing lab. The patient puts on the headset with help from an assistant, a virtual guide takes them through each test, and the system stores the results and sends them to the ophthalmologist. No PC and no specialist are needed in the room.
visual acuity, macular vision, visual field, color vision, duochrome, contrast sensitivity and orthoptic exercises for amblyopia
the headset activates the right and left eye automatically, with no outside light, to cut false positives and negatives
walks the patient through every test, so the assistant only helps them put the headset on
monitors each session and flags results that may be false negatives, on the eye-tracking kit
operators follow each session live from a mobile app, a tablet or Windows
PDF results aligned with the HL7 interoperability standard, stored locally, sent by email or kept in the cloud
Result
Clinics and providers can run routine eye exams with an assistant instead of an ophthalmologist, and the specialist's time goes to reviewing results and diagnosing. Because the software runs standalone on Oculus Quest and Pico headsets, the same exam works in a clinic, a school, a mobile unit or a waiting room. OphtiCare sells the kits in Argentina and Spain.
Seven eye tests in one ~10-minute VR session, with results ready for the ophthalmologist.
