Our technology was
born in space
Clear CEO, Dr Brandon Zimmerman, PhD, whilst working for NASA
designing robot eyes for the international space station realised, if
he could mathematically simulate vision in million dollar robots, why
couldn’t we use similar techniques on our eyes back home.
Our powerful novel algorithms digitize the traditional eye test
process, removing reliance on specialized in-clinic hardware and
overhead. Our digital eye creates a bespoke model of the human eye by
combining optometry, optical physics, computer and vision science into
a single platform.
By creating individualised models of each eye, we are able to
calculate not just visual acuity but clinically accurate optical
prescriptions, without the need for a prior prescription nor human
input.
We’re part of the optical and
vision science community
Whether it be LASIK surgery, the autorefractor, wavefront aberrometer
or phoropter, the most trusted medical devices used by your local
optometrist and ophthalmologist have been pioneered from the minds
of optical physicists, optical scientists and optical engineers. Led by our
very own optical physicist and chief executive officer, Dr. Brandon
Zimmerman (PhD), our science team continues to ensure that our
physics approach to optical technology is incomparable to other tele-
optometry solutions.
Our long standing relationship with the University of Rochester's
Institute of Optics allows us to work alongside leading institutions
such as the Center for Visual Sciences and the Flaum Eye Institute,
surrounding ourselves with the best research minds in optical and
vision science.
