Heru, a leader in AI-powered vision diagnostics, announced it is showcasing its new PretestPro™ technology on its wearable platform at the Vision Expo meeting in Orlando, Florida. PretestPro consolidates multiple eye exams into a single, guided VR-powered workflow that runs in just under 2 minutes, significantly faster than traditional manual testing.

Why it matters

PretestPro represents a fundamental shift in how vision diagnostic testing is structured, moving from a manual, multi-device workflow to a streamlined, automated process that can boost clinic efficiency, improve clinical confidence, and provide a more modern experience for patients.

The details

PretestPro leverages virtual reality (VR) and eye tracking technology to capture four critical pretesting exams - 8-point confrontation visual field, near cover test, extraocular motility, and quantitative pupillometry - in a single, guided workflow. This replaces the need for multiple legacy devices and manual steps, running about three times faster than traditional testing.

  • The Vision Expo meeting is taking place in Orlando, Florida.
