ATLANTA, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- SoloHealth (www.solo-health.com), maker of EyeSite(TM) self-service vision testing kiosks, announced today it will team with Eyemaginations, the leader in eye care education, to enhance the educational experience featured in the kiosks. The EyeSite kiosks contribute to eye care industry growth by offering free, simple and quick vision assessments and driving consumers to local eye care professionals for comprehensive eye exams.
"Our goal is to get people to think about their eyes when they think about their overall health, and to take the appropriate steps to minimize their eye health risks," said Bart Foster, CEO & founder of SoloHealth. "In line with this goal, Eyemaginations provides a wealth of educational content and 3D animations which will enhance the EyeSite kiosk experience to educate people about various eye conditions and diseases, and encourage them to continue the eye health dialogue with an eyecare professional."
Initial kiosks are being sponsored by Transitions Optical, Inc., Optos, and other leading eye care companies who demonstrate a mission to educate consumers on the importance of eye health. EyeSite kiosks are not a replacement for a comprehensive eye exam. Rather, prospective patients answer a series of lifestyle questions on a touch screen, and are presented with various-sized letters to determine near and far distance acuity, all in less than five minutes. They are then given a printout with basic results (not a prescription) and are encouraged to schedule a full, comprehensive examination with a local eye care provider who is listed in the system or located via zipcode. The EyeSite system can advise the selected eyecare practice to follow up with the prospective patient, or the consumer can contact the practice directly.
