Heru announced it is showcasing the new PretestPro on its wearable platform during the Vision Expo meeting in Orlando, Florida. According to a company press release, PretestPro can run a pretest exam in just under 2 minutes.

PretestPro leverages virtual reality (VR) and eye tracking to capture multiple tests in a single, guided workflow, Heru says. Patients are guided to maintain fixation by Nora, Heru’s patient-friendly fixation target. PretestPro runs 4 critical pretesting eye exams, including 8-point confrontation visual field (VF), near cover test, extraocular motility (EOM), and quantitative pupillometry.

Heru’s portable platform digitizes and automates manual eye tests for efficiency and clinical consistency, and can be worn in any pretest area, in the waiting room, or in remote locations, the company said. An artificial intelligence-driven “virtual technician” guides patients through various modalities, including visual acuity testing; Firefly confrontation VF; suprathreshold VF; full threshold VF 24-2, 10-2, and 30-2; Esterman VF; Ishihara color vision test; near and distance cover tests; quantitative pupillometry, and EOM, in addition to the new PretestPro, the company said. OM
