NEW FEATURE

PretestPro™

4 Tests. 90 Seconds. Zero Guesswork.

PretestPro unifies four peer‑reviewed pretesting modalities into one guided VR workflow, using eye tracking to deliver consistent results, without the time and variability of manual testing.

Born out of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, the #1 eye hospital for 25 years, each one of Heru's modalities are clinically validated. Heru has created a gold standard in a single wearable device.

NEW

PretestPro™ – Advanced Pretesting

Advanced pretesting just got easier — all in record time.

PretestPro™ unifies four peer‑reviewed modalities into one guided experience led by Nora our friendly fixation target. All this in ~90 seconds and shared in an easy to read report.

Pre-testing has stayed largely the same for decades: quick, subjective checks that can vary by technician, patient, and day. PretestPro™ changes that. Now, you can run multiple modalities together and then deliver a structured, quantitative clinician report directly into the exam workflow.

When you stack Heru Prime’s Visual Acuity Test, you can complete ~50% of your pretesting in ~ 2 minutes.

Grounded over a decade of research and clinical validation at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, it goes beyond manual legacy exams by reimagining the a manual workflow. Built on gold-standard testing and proprietary patents, PretestPro™ combines an immersive VR experience with precision accuracy.

PretestPro runs the following 4 tests in ~90 seconds: 

8-Point Visual Field Screener
Cover Near
Extraocular Motility
Quantitative Pupil Test

Visual Acuity Testing

Test to 20/20 accuracy with Heru’s Visual Acuity exam.

Heru’s Visual Acuity Testing brings one of the most familiar parts of the eye exam into the same VR-powered platform used for advanced diagnostic testing.

Heru uses a proprietary strategy for testing down to 20/20, all back by rigorous clinical validation at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.

Adding VA testing can streamline your practice and provide a more consistent patient experience and reduce reliance on separate equipment and disconnected processes.
