RightEye launches automated, quantitative sensorimotor exam system
RightEye Sensorimotor, a new device that evaluates the oculomotor component of an ophthalmic exam and can quickly identify ocular issues such as strabismus or oculomotor dysfunction, is now available.
“RightEye Sensorimotor was designed to integrate seamlessly into an eye care provider’s pre-test and exam lanes,” Keith Smithson, OD, of Northern Virginia Doctors of Optometry said in a press release from the company. “By running RightEye Sensorimotor on every patient, eye doctors are able to elevate their care and identify previously unaddressed binocular vision and oculomotor dysfunction.”
With 30% of people living with some sort of binocular or oculomotor condition, the RightEye Sensorimotor can increase the accuracy of exam results and the efficiency of addressing ocular conditions compared with manual exams, the company said in the release.
Unlike time-consuming manual sensorimotor exams, a technician can run a screening in less than 30 seconds. If the patient fails the screening, the company said, the doctor can decide to run a full, automated sensorimotor exam in less than 5 minutes.
The exam system fits easily into patient flow, meaning eye care providers do not have to worry about adding on unbillable time, the company said in the release. RightEye Sensorimotor may also increase a practice’s revenue because it is reimbursable.
“We worked hand-in-hand with insurance billing experts and the nation’s leading eye care doctors to develop this revolutionary technology,” Adam Gross, CEO and co-founder of RightEye, said in the release. “I am so excited to be able to bring this to the market so that doctors can provide enhanced care to their patients – quickly, accurately and profitably.”
