NEW YORK — IbisVision announced the launch of Ibis Re-Check, an online technology that allows patients to check their own ophthalmic prescriptions for change, at Vision Expo East.
The online process is self-guided and meant to save in-office chair time, Laura Hillhouse‐Fleming, head of marketing for IbisVision, told Healio.
“If there’s no change [from their last appointment], they don’t need to do anything,” she said. “If it has changed, it connects them with a doctor, or they can get into the remote platform for an exam.”
The company’s previously launched IbisEngage already provides a number of clinician-guided online eye tests, according to a press release.
“With Ibis Re-Check, eye care organizations can now offer both clinician-led and patient self-serve services, enhancing their flexibility and the quality of care they provide,” the company said in the release.
Hillhouse-Fleming told Healio that the company’s remote refraction system is undergoing validation.
“We are moving into the U.S. market with Re-Check and Engage,” she said.
She noted that the company does not yet have a network of U.S. doctors.
“Technology is all about helping us use resources wisely,” IbisVision CEO Mark Roger said in the release. “If we can shift the responsibility for the initial check of a prescription to the patient themselves, that leaves the highly qualified eye doctor available for interventions where their input is vital. In this case, the eye doctor enters the process when the system, working with the patient, flags changed prescription requirements.”
