About
SiVIEW is a leading AI-driven refraction software suite developed after 10+ years of R&D, trusted with over 932,000 eye exams to date. It connects seamlessly to existing ophthalmic equipment, modernizing the vision examination workflow without requiring costly hardware replacements. The platform offers three distinct products tailored to different use cases. SiVIEW Exam® is an AI-powered assistant that guides any team member through a professional eye exam with precision and speed, reducing dependency on highly specialized staff. SiVIEW TéléOpto enables remote optometry sessions, allowing licensed optometrists to conduct exams from any location by connecting remotely to the in-store refraction chain. SiVIEW Self-Ref goes further by letting patients conduct their own exam autonomously, guided in real time by the AI algorithm for reliable, fast results. Key outcomes include reducing lens remake rates to under 1%, increasing per-store prescription volumes, and enabling geographic expansion without proportional staffing increases. The solution is built for independent opticians managing one to five stores, optical retail chains, and ophthalmology clinics, and it adapts to national regulatory frameworks. Whether the goal is improving workflow efficiency, covering underserved areas, or scaling operations, SiVIEW transforms vision care into a tangible business growth driver.
Key Features
- AI-Assisted Refraction (SiVIEW Exam®): Guides any team member through a complete, precise eye exam using AI, reducing reliance on specialist staff and improving throughput.
- Tele-Optometry (SiVIEW TéléOpto): Allows certified optometrists to conduct remote eye exams by connecting to in-store equipment over the internet, expanding care to underserved locations.
- Autonomous Patient Self-Exam (SiVIEW Self-Ref): Patients complete their own eye exam guided step-by-step by the AI algorithm, enabling faster, fully autonomous vision assessments.
- Plug-and-Play Equipment Integration: Connects directly to existing refraction chains and ophthalmic devices — no hardware replacement required, minimizing upfront investment.
- Ultra-Low Lens Remake Rate: AI precision reduces lens remakes to under 1%, cutting waste and improving customer satisfaction across the board.
Use Cases
- An optical retail chain deploys SiVIEW Exam® across multiple stores so that any sales associate can conduct accurate eye exams, reducing bottlenecks caused by limited optometrist availability.
- An independent optician uses SiVIEW TéléOpto to offer remote consultations, partnering with a remote optometrist to serve customers in areas without local eye care professionals.
- A large optical group expands into new geographic markets by equipping new stores with SiVIEW Self-Ref, allowing patients to self-administer exams and receive prescriptions without full-time on-site optometrists.
- An ophthalmology clinic integrates SiVIEW into its daily workflow to pre-screen patients with AI, freeing doctors to focus on complex cases and increasing overall patient throughput.
- An optical franchise uses SiVIEW's analytics and AI precision to cut lens remakes below 1%, reducing operational costs and improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Pros
- Works with Existing Equipment: Optical practices can modernize their workflow without investing in new hardware, making adoption low-risk and cost-effective.
- Versatile Product Suite: Three complementary modules cover in-store AI assistance, remote optometry, and autonomous exams — adaptable to varied business contexts and regulations.
- Proven at Scale: Over 932,000 eye exams completed with SiVIEW and 10+ years of R&D back the platform's reliability and clinical accuracy.
- Increases Business Growth Potential: Boosts prescription volume per store, enables faster geographic expansion, and helps eliminate healthcare deserts.
Cons
- Primarily French Market Focus: Originated in France and regulatory adaptations may vary, potentially limiting immediate availability or feature parity in other countries.
- Paid Enterprise Pricing: No free tier is available; pricing is tailored to business needs, which may be a barrier for very small independent practices.
- Requires Internet Connectivity for Remote Features: TéléOpto and cloud-dependent features rely on stable internet access, which may be a limitation in rural or low-connectivity environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to replace my existing refraction equipment to use SiVIEW?
No. SiVIEW connects to your existing refraction chain and ophthalmic devices via software integration, so you can modernize your eye exam workflow without purchasing new hardware.
What is SiVIEW Exam® and who can use it?
SiVIEW Exam® is an AI-powered assistant that guides any member of your optical team through a complete, accurate eye exam. It is designed so that non-specialist staff can perform exams reliably with AI support.
How does SiVIEW TéléOpto work?
SiVIEW TéléOpto lets a licensed optometrist conduct eye exams remotely. They connect over the internet to the in-store refraction equipment integrated with SiVIEW, enabling high-quality exams from any location.
What is the SiVIEW Self-Ref module?
SiVIEW Self-Ref allows patients to perform their own eye exam autonomously, guided in real time by the AI algorithm. This maximizes store throughput and can reduce wait times significantly.
