CALGARY, Sept. 4, 2012 /CNW/ - Eyelogic Systems Inc. is pleased to
announce an agreement with 20/20 Vision Center, LLC for exclusive
distribution rights in the United States for remotely operated
units. 20/20 is aggressively pursuing an online eye testing
application where technicians and doctors from a centralized call
center will perform eye testing on patients across the United
States. The 10 year agreement, with a one-time renewal option,
calls for a minimum purchase of 940 units over the initial term,
with at least 20 units purchased during the first year. Mark
McDonald, President of Eyelogic, says "We are very excited to be
working directly with 20/20 to bring online testing to millions of
Americans. Online testing is an exciting development which has the
potential to change the industry. We are very pleased 20/20 choose
our world leading technology as a core component." Dr. Richard
Ombres, 20/20's Medical Director, estimates over 200 million of the
U.S. population have refractive errors that are correctable with
prescription glasses or contact lenses. "The critical first part of
the eye exam, so often overlooked, is an accurate refraction," says
Dr. Ombres, "Eyelogic's proven refractive algorithm, which is
completed through objective and subjective refraction, is failsafe
and highly accurate. It consistently gives us the best visual
acuities obtainable with an optimum new optical prescription for
eyeglasses and contact lenses." Dr. Ombres went on to say, "This
technology is a breakthrough for the millions of patients who want
quick access to simple and accurate refractions in between their
regular eye health visits. However, refraction is only a part of a
complete eye exam and these tests do not replace regular eye health
exams performed by a qualified Optometrist or Ophthalmologist."
McDonald agrees, "Since our inception, we've consistently educated
patients about refraction only testing. Ensuring every patient
knows the difference between refraction and an eye health exam
allows them make an informed decision about their individual
needs." 20/20's Communication Director, Dr. Joseph Seriani O.D.,
said 20/20 is currently implementing licensing agreements with
optical dispensaries, primary care physicians and pharmacies to
make refractions more accessible, convenient, affordable and
accurate. "There is a very large market for online testing. With
our system, the eye doctor is always in. Morning, afternoon or
evening, seven days a week. No appointment necessary," touts Dr.
Seriani. The first installations are scheduled for completion in
November of this year. The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed
and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or the accuracy
of this release. We seek Safe Harbor. Eyelogic Systems Inc.
