Comment on Launch HN: Quadrant Eye (YC W21) – Tackling online eye exams and at-home eyecare

Comments

Congrats on the launch! So what technology or design are you using that allows you to have the same kind of accuracy as an in person office visit?

We'll be using a blend of computer vision techniques and portable hardware devices in the future. What is in our online exam right now is just a quick proof of concept that we rolled out to assess market fit. The more novel bits of tech are either in development or in the early stages of clinical trials. Excited to share more on that soon!

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 gold standard (eg whatever method is used in person.) Fortunately this is fully in my wheelhouse, hehe.
