Is it biotech or is it techbio!!!!!

One could argue that a $79 annual exam is more affordable than paying $200 every month for an injection to manage endstage, out-of-control diabetic eye disease. That being said, I …

Wow, thanks for the detailed note of support. I agree with all of the above.

Wow, this is super helpful in that it gives me extra context outside of what I'm used to. Also just good to know what else is out there :) Thank you so much!!!

Glad that my training and knowledge base is on point, hehe. Thank you so much for the kind words. My biggest wish is for my team to use our combined skills and expertise to bring h…

Ok, I’m happy to hear it. This reminds me that another important caveat re: eyecare is this — even within a country, there’s a lot of variation in how ophthalmologists treat the sa…

That is INCREDIBLE. When someone is paying for a full eye exam out of pocket in the US, it can cost anywhere from $69 to $150 USD.

I know right!!! Let’s just say “legit” and “contraband” glasses all come from the same handful of factories in Chinese cities such as Danyang and Shenzhen. From a clinical standpoi…

Yeah, in the absence of in-person supervision, there are a lot of safety measures that need to be implemented. For example, making sure that people are at the correct testing dista…

Hi! I think WP is a great company. I also agree that their vision check UX leaves a lot to be desired -- I ran through it myself a few times, and each time it caused intense frustr…

I hesitate to provide medical advice here. But if you are 30 and you have a glaucoma diagnosis, you should really be followed by a glaucoma specialist (vs a comprehensive ophthalmo…

Thanks! Kristine and I will do some tag-teaming on this. 1) Currently a lot of other services ask people to take "x" number of footsteps away from the screen to approximate "y" fee…

Did you do the exam on mobile or desktop? Also, what browser were you using?

We're looking into this circle bug -- very sorry about that! I won't argue that the current test isn't crude. We're rolling out increasingly sophisticated versions with each update…

There are very few instances in which a patient with chronic glaucoma needs monthly IOP checks (vs someone who came into clinic with an acute event and goes on to need emergent sur…

I understand why these statements might seem extreme. A few points here: 1) I don't believe I've stated that dilated eye exams should never be done. One of the biggest reasons remo…

Oh hello! I’ve come across easee before and think what you guys are doing is awesome. You’re based in Sweden, right? Re: coffee, I believe the two of us have interacted on LinkedIn…

Thanks, that’s what we love to hear. Please do let us know if you have any feature requests/ideas :)

There’s a lot of good stuff to unpack here, and thank you for bringing all of it up! I’ll highlight the main point, which is that these “check your vision at home” tests never scre…

I’ll leave the tech stack specifics to Kristine. From clinical standpoint, the algorithms (re: vision testing and beyond) we design and implement will need to be tested against the…

I support this! :D

I think that there are many scenarios in which there shouldn't be a 1 year expiration date for glasses or contacts. For example, if someone has a very straightforward glasses/conta…

Good question. Right now everything is out of pocket. The ideal scenario is for this service to be covered by employers as well as payers; don't worry, we'll make this happen in th…

Yes, we got the email -- thank you for the input!

I am not familiar with this organization and will look into it. Thanks for bringing them to my attn! Re: working with orgs, we're interested in partnering with those committed to a…
