Overview

REBIScan is building transformative technology that accurately and instantaneously detects vision disorders for timely referral and treatment. The first device, the Pediatric Vision Scanner (PVS), detects amblyopia, the leading cause of vision loss in children. A 3-second scan performed by a non-clinician using the PVS replaces the 5-10 minute clinician examination currently required to detect disease, and it does so with unprecedented accuracy.
