Eyebot, a deep tech company, has secured US$6 million in seed funding from Alleycorp and Ubiquity Ventures to roll out its groundbreaking automated self-serve vision tests for leading eyewear brands. This innovative technology aims to make vision care more accessible and efficient for both consumers and retailers.

The Eyebot team, led by CEO Matthias Hofmann, has successfully completed clinical trials involving hundreds of patients, validating the self-serve functionality in various US cities. The company has secured orders from leading eyewear brands and established a tele-doctor network of providers, with plans to expand in 2025.

"What used to take days or weeks can now be accomplished in a matter of minutes," said Matthias Hofmann. "Eyebot's cutting-edge technology transforms vision care to be more accessible than ever before, fitting effortlessly into the modern consumer's lifestyle."

"The in-person vision test is a major obstacle for consumers and retailers in the corrective eyewear market," said Abe Murray, General Partner at AlleyCorp. "Eyebot's implementation of automation and cutting-edge technology has the potential to completely transform the way leading eyewear brands perform vision tests and deliver prescriptions. Eyebot is bringing vision care to underserved communities and health deserts across the world at the touch of a button."

According to the company, key features of Eyebot's technology include:

• Exceptional Efficiency: Vision tests yield results in just 90 seconds, making them both swift and accurate, allowing users to obtain immediate prescriptions.
• User Independence: Designed for solo operation, users can successfully employ Eyebot's technology without external assistance, demonstrating its user-friendliness.
• Maximised Accessibility: By incorporating Eyebot into retail spaces, vision care becomes more accessible, enabling customers to assess their vision quality, obtain prescriptions, and purchase eyewear all in one visit.

Eyebot's technology effectively eliminates the substantial obstacle of time-consuming in-person eye exams, creating a seamless connection between consumers and retailers. The freestanding, user-friendly machine is capable of administering hundreds of vision tests daily, showcasing its remarkable efficiency.
