Retinalogik is a virtual reality based headset utilizing AI and cutting-edge diagnostic technology that allows optometrists to test and detect some eye diseases. By integrating AI+VR, this non-invasive device can test visual fields, visual acuity, colour vision, and contrast sensitivity in a comfortable and safe manner.

Its visual field capabilities allow for progression analysis and detection and monitoring of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.  It can also be used to test the visual field requirements for drivers’ licenses with the Ministry of Transportation.

During testing, the Retinalogik  takes just minutes and requires no special preparation.  Patients do not need to take off their glasses or patch an eye and can sit comfortably without straining their necks or staying perfectly still.  These conveniences combined with the benefit of VR testing makes it appropriate and engaging for patients of all ages except those who may be claustrophobic with VR headsets.

At Foresee Eyecare, we’ve invested in Retinalogik technology because we believe in providing the most comprehensive eye care possible with a forward thinking approach of how some eye tests can be delivered in the future.  Book an appointment today to experience how this advanced technology can help protect your eye health for years to come.

How Retinalogik Technology Works

Retinalogik uses cutting-edge AI with VR to test visual fields, visual acuity, colour vision, and contrast sensitivity through advanced technology in a comfortable virtual environment.

The Benefits of Retinalogik

The most significant advantage of Retinalogik is its ease of use from the patient’s perspective.  It can screen some of the entrance testing before the doctor sees the patient, but its benefit in visual field testing is its novel approach to test for eye diseases that can affect  vision such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular diseases, and retinal pathologies.  Retinalogik may enable patients to be comfortable and more engaged than traditional visual field testing.

Who Can Benefit from Retinalogik Screening?

Retinalogik screening is valuable for virtually everyone, but it’s particularly beneficial for certain groups who face higher risks of eye disease. Patients who have any conditions that can affect central or side vision could be candidates for this type of testing.

How Retinalogik Enhances Traditional Eye Exams

While traditional eye exams remain essential for assessing visual acuity, eye movement, and overall eye health, Retinalogik offers capabilities that significantly complement and enhance standard examination techniques.  This technological advancement doesn’t replace the need for comprehensive eye exams but enhances them by providing additional, valuable diagnostic information about your eye health that can guide treatment decisions and preventative care strategies.

Taking the Next Step for Your Eye Health

Understanding the importance of comprehensive eye care is essential for protecting your vision for life. Retinalogik technology offers an unprecedented level of detail in assessing your functional vision, allowing for earlier detection and treatment of potentially serious conditions before they affect your quality of life.
