Vision Labs develops a mobile corneal topographer called the CLEA device that brings the capabilities of traditional desktop systems into a portable, handheld format. The device supports early detection and monitoring of conditions like keratoconus, dry eye disease, and astigmatism while leveraging cloud computing for continuous feature expansion. This approach makes advanced corneal assessment more accessible and cost-effective for proactive vision care.

Problem
Many eye conditions are treatable if detected early, yet traditional corneal topography requires bulky, expensive desktop equipment typically found only in specialized clinics. This limits access for patients and delays proactive screening for progressive conditions like keratoconus, dry eye disease, and astigmatism.
Solution
Vision Labs has developed the CLEA device, a mobile corneal topographer that brings the functionality of legacy desktop systems into a compact, handheld form factor. The device captures corneal topography data used by medical professionals to evaluate conditions such as dry eye, keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, post-refractive surgery ectasia, and astigmatism, as well as to measure corneal power and assist with contact lens fitting. The platform leverages mobile technology and cloud computing to continuously expand its feature set, enabling proactive and cost-effective vision care at a scale not previously possible.
Target Audience
Primary users are medical professionals including optometrists, ophthalmologists, and eye care clinics seeking a portable, cost-effective alternative to traditional desktop corneal topographers.
