The new tele digital optical imaging system
Welcome to Aetheia
The world’s first digital tele slit lamp for tele-optometry. Its ground-breaking technology removes the need for optometrist and patient to be physically present in the same location whilst offering the ability to conduct the exam in real time.

No delays by being remote
Once up to speed, you will complete your eye exams with the same care, attention, and diligence in the same amount of time as you currently do. Often you will also see your patient in more detail due to the exceptional image technology Aetheia has.
Watch our in-house clinician conduct an eye health exam in 6 minutes and 20 seconds, with no rush, no hurry and great levels of details, all completely remote from the patient.
Watch the video in page, or use the link below for a high definition version.
Small enough to sit on a standard optical table and instantly identifiable as a slit lamp, the system is fully operable by a practitioner from any remote location with an internet connection with the results viewable in realtime or stored for later review.
Patients want convenient and affordable eyecare at times and locations to suit them. There is a limit to the number of patients and locations an optometrist can cover in person, and there is a shortage of qualified specialists in many areas. Aetheia solves the timing and location challenges, increases capacity, and delivers convenience to patients.
With optometrists conducting eye examinations remotely, there is the opportunity for one optometrist to cover multiple centres, or to balance schedules across centres to match optometrist supply and demand. Scheduling opportunities are further maximised as optometrists do not have to undertake eye examinations in real time.
In the current optical market, Aetheia can bring convenience, efficiencies and help to manage challenges created by a shortage of practitioners. It could also be used for the sharing of images between primary and secondary care practitioners and help to provide ocular health examinations in locations where they would not otherwise be possible. Aetheia increases the focus on the ocular health emphasis of a practitioners clinic.
Features
Accurate movement and control allows for easily transferable techniques from traditional slit lamp to Aetheia
Record keeping. Providing unrivalled long-term patient management through image and video comparison
Ability to share images/video with patients and experts in real time of any pathologies found
Helping patient compliance with over-the counter treatments and patient understanding, keeping them engaged and informed
Exceptional imaging of the ocular surface, tear film, and contact lens fitting allows for easier explanation of importance of wear times and replacement of contact lenses
Unrivalled ability to rotate each arm to create a 120-degree displacement, with the ability to ‘pan around’ a fixed point
With the ability to capture image and video of pathology, and export to patient management platforms, the files can then be viewed at a later point in time or even shared as part of an enhanced and expedited referral/diagnosis process
