The fastest pretest, built for the modern exam lane.
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 incorporate Heru Prime’s Visual Acuity Testing for an additional 30 seconds, this means that you can complete 50% of your pretesting in just 2 minutes.
Grounded in 15 years of research and clinical validation, it goes beyond manual legacy exams by reimagining the workflow with VR + eye tracking to deliver more consistent, quantitative results. Built on gold-standard testing principles and years of headset-based clinical research, it combines immersive VR with precision eye tracking to standardize how key pre-tests are performed and recorded.
PretestPro runs the following 4 tests in 90 seconds:
8-Point Confrontation Visual Field
Cover Near
Extraocular Motility
Quantitative Pupil Test
Visual Acuity Testing
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.
By keeping acuity testing inside the Heru Prime workflow, practices can streamline pre-testing, support a more consistent patient experience, and reduce reliance on separate equipment and disconnected processes.
Firefly™ Visual Field
Firefly™ Visual Field is an 8-point visual field screener can be run using Heru Prime in just 10-15 seconds per eye.
By reducing manual administration steps, Heru Prime helps create a more standardized workflow that is easier to run and more consistent from patient to patient.
Suprathreshold Visual Field
Suprathreshold Visual Field testing gives practices a streamlined way to screen the field of vision and identify where additional evaluation may be needed. Delivered through Heru Prime’s portable VR-based platform, this modality helps support fast, repeatable screening without the footprint of traditional room-based equipment.
Full Threshold Visual Field (24-2)
Heru Prime supports full-threshold visual field testing in the familiar 24-2 pattern, helping clinicians evaluate the central visual field through a portable VR-based platform. As one of Heru’s core diagnostic modalities, 24-2 testing supports a more efficient, standardized approach to visual field evaluation in the modern eye care workflow.
Full Threshold Visual Field (10-2)
The 10-2 full-threshold test helps clinicians take a closer look at the central visual field using the same Heru Prime platform. This modality adds a more targeted testing option to Heru’s visual field suite, supporting practices that need multiple field patterns without adding more devices to the exam lane.
Full Threshold Visual Field (30-2)
The 30-2 full-threshold modality expands Heru Prime’s visual field offering, giving practices another familiar testing pattern inside the same VR-based workflow. As Heru Prime continues to evolve through software-driven updates, practices can access a broader range of diagnostic capabilities through one compact platform.
Esterman Visual Field
The 30-2 full-threshold modality expands Heru Prime’s visual field offering, giving practices another familiar testing pattern inside the same VR-based workflow. As Heru Prime continues to evolve through software-driven updates, practices can access a broader range of diagnostic capabilities through one compact platform.
Ishihara Color Vision Test
Heru Prime includes Ishihara Color Vision Testing as part of its growing modality library, giving practices a familiar screening tool inside the same headset-based experience. This modality helps round out the pre-test suite by bringing another common exam step into one software-driven platform.
Cover Test – Near
Cover Test – Near helps assess eye alignment at near distance in approximately 1.5 minutes, supporting the detection and measurement of phorias and tropias through a guided, digital workflow. By bringing a traditionally hands-on test into Heru Prime, practices can reduce variability, streamline technician administration, and produce clearer, more consistent output for clinical review.
Cover Test – Distance
Cover Test – Distance supports eye alignment testing at distance through Heru Prime’s guided headset-based platform. By digitizing a traditionally manual exam step, Heru helps practices create a more consistent testing experience across staff members, patients, and exam settings.
Quantitative Pupillometry
Move beyond the penlight.
Heru’s Quantitative Pupillometry helps replace a traditionally subjective penlight check with a more structured, measurable test experience. In Heru Prime, pupil testing can be captured alongside other modalities, supporting a richer pre-test record and helping clinicians move from manual observation toward clearer, more consistent data.
Extraocular Motility (EOM)
Extraocular Motility testing in Heru Prime supports a guided way to evaluate eye movements inside the headset experience. By moving beyond manual finger-tracking, Heru helps standardize a common pre-test step and keeps EOM testing connected to the same patient-friendly workflow used across the Heru modality suite.
