Vision care that works on a phone. OptikosPrime develop refractive screening and prescription technologies for standard phones.

Vision care has not scaled.
More than a billion people globally live with uncorrected refractive error. In most cases, the solution is simple: glasses. The challenge is access.

Traditional vision care depends on specialised equipment, trained personnel, and fixed clinical infrastructure. That creates barriers across retail, healthcare systems, workplaces, schools, and underserved communities.Vision screening and prescription access should be as available as a phone.

VisionCheck. Refractive screening from a single phone photo. Built for high-volume screening across retail, workplaces, schools, and outreach programs.

Argus. Full eyeglass prescription estimation from a phone photo. Built for telehealth, online eyewear, and underserved regions.

We combine optics, photorefraction, and machine learning to derive refractive insights from phone images.

Unlike traditional vision systems, our platforms are built for deployment at scale without dedicated ophthalmic hardware.

OptikosPrime is a Copenhagen-based vision technology company. Founded in 2020 by Anders Kofod-Petersen and Ståle Fredlund Husby, we build refractive screening and prescription tools that work on standard phones. Our research collaborators include NTNU, Karolinska Institutet, and Aalborg University. We deploy with Sightsavers across Africa and Asia.

Most people with refractive error are never screened. Mobile screening can change that by removing the dependency on equipment and specialists. Our goal is to make refractive screening accessible globally.
