• Optometry group installs free vision-screening kiosks in supermarkets

0 Comments
Center For Sight, an eye-care practice with eight offices in Southwest Florida, has installed EyeSite kiosks in three Sweetbay Supermarket locations. The EyeSite kiosks, about the size of self-test blood pressure units, offer self-directed exams that take about five minutes to perform.
 
The interactive kiosks are free to use and provide an assessment of near and distance vision. Using touch-screen technology, users are presented with a letter recognition eye-chart exam and asked to answer a series of lifestyle questions. EyeSite kiosks are not a replacement for a regular eye exam, but they do generate a printed, customized report of the results along with relevant eye health information. Users are encouraged to schedule a comprehensive exam and share the report with an eye care professional.
 
Surveys have found that as much as 25 percent of the population has never had a comprehensive, dilated eye examination. For adults, data shows that the number of Americans with age-related eye disease such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease is expected to double by the year 2030. User-friendly, practical tools like the EyeSite kiosk offer a way to reverse this trend through a self-directed, proactive focus on eye health.
