EYOTO presentation of automated and fully remote digital slit lamp
- By Editorial Team
Medtech company Eyoto has launched the Aetheia machine, an automated and fully remote, 4K slit lamp. The company exhibited the product at two trade shows this Spring – 100% Optical in the UK and Vision Expo (US). Aetheia is an automated 4K digital slit lamp that uses AI-enabled automation to allow non-clinically trained staff to record any exam procedure required for asynchronous clinical review, or offer full remote control allowing clinicians to deliver expert eyecare from anywhere in the world.Designed to provide consistent, high-quality assessments across multiple sites and in various care settings, Aetheia helps providers expand access to eyecare, improve workflow efficiency and enhance patient experience through more scalable and sustainable service models. Powered by Eyoto’s Auto-Optometry™, Aetheia delivers sharp, consistent images with minimal operator input. It reduces training requirements and reliance on locum staff, while freeing clinicians to focus on diagnosis and treatment, rather than image acquisition.
Aetheia is available in two variants, both featuring Eyoto’s Auto-Optometry™: Aetheia:Auto is a fully autonomous slit lamp, that delivers automated or step-by-step guided procedures so local technicians can capture sharp, consistent images with minimal input Aetheia:Remote enables ophthalmologists and optometrists to perform detailed eye examinations from anywhere, controlling every aspect of the device in real time while a local on-site technician assists the patient. Ideal for clinics with stretched clinical capacity, multi-site operations or those looking to unlock new models of care. Simon Collingridge, CEO at Eyoto, said: “Aetheia represents a new era in eyecare. More than just a digital slit lamp, it’s a revolution in eye examination technology setting a new standard for modern eyecare. Whether it’s in high-volume retail clinics or hospitals, Aetheia is designed to adapt to any care setting to improve patient access, streamline workflow and enhance the overall patient experience.”
