Eyelogic's software and associated computer hardware and ophthalmic equipment are designed to make eye testing easier -- so easy that it can be performed by a technician rather than the doctor. The software can coordinate input from existing automated instruments and the system includes an automated refractor, an autolensometer, and more. According to the company, product development began after an ophthalmologist in Calgary grew bored with always having to perform manual refractions and decided to try to automate the process.
