GLANCE Optical is making waves in the fight against preventable blindness, partnering with leading institutions worldwide to enhance glaucoma detection and treatment. Among their latest collaborations is a groundbreaking initiative with Dr. Shibal Bhartiya and her team at Marengo Asia Hospitals, along with educators from Vision Unlimited in Gurgaon, India. Using GLANCE Optical’s Melbourne Rapid Fields (MRF) Vision Online Perimetry system, the team has successfully screened 350 high-risk patients for glaucoma and other eye diseases in just two months. The software’s Hindi language guidance ensured seamless testing and accessibility within the local community.
In China, the Wenzhou Ophthalmic Centre has also adopted the MRF technology to address the challenges of early glaucoma detection in underserved populations. Over a four-week period, the centre conducted visual field tests on 300 patients, achieving high sensitivity and specificity in identifying potential cases. The rapid, efficient testing process has been lauded for its ability to meet the growing demand for accessible and reliable eye care solutions.
Melbourne Rapid Fields, a state-of-the-art AI-enabled online perimetry software, has been validated through 14 internationally peer-reviewed studies comparing it to gold-standard perimetry. Developed in collaboration with The University of Melbourne and The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, MRF provides a cost-effective, accessible solution for advanced eye care. The software offers a comprehensive suite of visual field tests, including 24-2, 10-2, and binocular Esterman equivalent field tests, as well as visual acuity assessments. Its ability to operate on standard laptops, desktops, or tablets—online or offline—makes it particularly valuable in resource-limited or remote areas. The voice guidance of the software is available in 15 languages.
Certified with CE Mark, UKCA, TGA, MedSafe, and CDSCO registrations, MRF is currently used in 150 centers across India and 216 centers in Australia and New Zealand. Its AI-driven features, such as controlled testing environments and telehealth integration, empower clinicians to detect and manage glaucoma efficiently while supporting rapid referrals.
GLANCE Optical’s commitment to innovation and global collaboration is transforming eye care delivery. By equipping healthcare providers with cutting-edge tools like MRF, the company is breaking down barriers to high-quality eye care, ensuring that even the most vulnerable communities can access life-changing glaucoma detection and management services.
These developments underscore GLANCE Optical’s mission to make advanced vision care universally accessible, offering hope to millions at risk of vision loss worldwide
