A CRISIS AFFECTING
1 IN 3 PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
There is a very real vision health crisis happening in the world today with 2.7 billion suffering from uncorrected poor vision, 90% of whom live at developing or rural areas at the economic base of the pyramid (BoP).
One of the key barriers to bringing vision care to the BoP is the lack of affordable testing tools – an autorefractor which tests for refractive errors can cost anything from $2,000 to $20,000.
REVOLUTIONIZING VISION SCREENING FOR THE DEVELOPING WORLD
Priced at a fraction of an autorefractor, the ClickCheck™ is portable, easy-to-use and does not require electricity to operate, making it ideal for vision screening in all settings, from semi-urban areas to rural villages to the most remote of communities.
DESIGN WITH AN IMPACT
Winner of our See Change innovation challenge in 2016, the ClickCheck™ is conceptualized by TEAMS Design, an award winning design consultancy in response to the competition and was first known as QuickCheck.
After refinement and field testing by the teams from Essilor’s Base of Pyramid (BoP) Innovation Lab, 2.5 New Vision Generation and Center of Innovation and Technology, the ClickCheck™ is now available.
Recognized for its impact in bringing vision care to underserved communities, the ClickCheck™ received three wins – gold in the Medical & Healthcare category, silver in the Social Impact category and a special Jury’s Chair award – at the 2020 International Design Excellence Awards, one of the most prestigious global design awards programs.
AN EXCELLENT STARTING POINT FOR SUBJECTIVE REFRACTION
The ClickCheck™ Clinical Study
An independent clinical study conducted by Lions Aravind Institute of Community Ophthalmology (LAICO) in India found that the ClickCheck™ demonstrates high reliability and accuracy in detecting spherical power, resulting in accurate prescriptions and is hence an excellent starting point for subjective refraction.
Key Findings
Spherical Power Measurement
The ClickCheck™ is highly accurate in measuring spherical power.
Visual Acuity
The visual acuity using the corrections from the ClickCheck™ had moderate level of agreement with that from subjective refraction.
Astigmatism
The ClickCheck™ estimates astigmatism with moderate accuracy when compared to subjective refraction and the autorefractor.
Spherical Power and Visual Acuity across all Age Groups
The ClickCheck™ offers highly accurate measurement of spherical power and visual acuity across all age groups, compared to subjective refraction.
REALLY CONVENIENT TO USE
“The ClickCheck™ is really convenient to use. With it, I can easily conduct vision screenings for my customers.”
– Ali Murtado, Mitra Mata Optician from Rokan Hulu in the Indonesian province of Riau

Suitable as primary test instrument
“If I were screening a large population for refractive errors, I would use the ClickCheck™ as my primary test instrument because it is fast, easy-to-use and in most cases repeatable, attesting to its consistency.”
– Dr. Clifford A. Scott, OD, MPH, President Emeritus, New England College of Optometry
Enables more people to be screened
“Major strides have been made in creating programs to address uncorrected refractive errors. However achieving scale and addressing the demand are still elusive due to the lack of human resources. In underserved environments where an autorefractor is unavailable or unaffordable, the ClickCheck allows the limited number of clinicians to serve more patients by providing an affordable, reliable starting point for the refraction process and reducing screening time per patient.”
– Kovin Naidoo, Senior Vice President, Social Impact: Africa & Latam and Advocacy, Essilor. Kovin’s also an optometrist and an internationally-renowned eye health researcher, educator and advocate.

The ClickCheck – FAQs
Should I keep a distance between the eye piece and my eye lid or should I allow it to touch my eye lid?
Either is ok. If you prefer not to have the eye piece touch your eye lid, please keep it as close to the eye as possible.
Should I close my other eye that is not being measured?
No, both eyes need to be open during the measurement process. Please use the occluder to cover the other eye. Make sure both eyes are open.
Can I use this in a dark room?
No, this device needs to be used either in a lighted room or outside if it’s bright.
There is a large range of power where the image is clear, when should I stop?
Stop immediately when the image in the middle (E) first becomes clear, do not hesitate. Do not hesitate or rotate the instrument again.
The power seemed quite far off compared to the power obtained from an autorefractor and subjective refraction. What's wrong?
- Make sure the measurement is performed in a lighted area
- Remind patient to stop immediately when the image first becomes clear
- Make sure the device is held horizontally and straight at the patient’s eye level
- Make sure no hands are covering the device, preventing light from getting in
- Make sure to conduct the measurement at least 3 times to get an average reading
- Clean the lens near the eye piece – in case of fingerprints
Some parts seem to be loose. Can I open up the ClickCheck™ and fix it on my own?
No, please contact our sale rep to request for repair or a replacement unit.
How do I maintain the ClickCheck™?
Do not touch the optical parts with your fingers; clean them with a soft cloth. The parts which come into contact with users must be cleaned and disinfected with ethanol or disinfectant wipes for medical use between each usage.
What is the durability of the ClickCheck™?
It is extremely durable. Each ClickCheck™ can be used for up to 70,000 measurements. Assuming we conduct 3 measurements per eye per user, it could be used on 10,000 users.
What is the difference between the ClickCheck™ and the Folding Foropter?
| The ClickCheck™ | The Folding Foropter | |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Made of a more robust plastic material to withstand the rough conditions of vision screening events | Cardboard material which is less robust |
| Measurement | Estimate refractive error on Sphere, High Astigmatism and Axis | Estimate refractive error only on Sphere |
| Range of scale | Covers a large range from +8D to -11D | Covers +4D to -7D |
| Lifespan | Priced at USD 54 Able to screen around 10,000 wearers (< USD 0.50 per screening) Has a lifespan of around 140 times higher than the Folding Foropter | Priced at USD 7 Able to screen around 250 wearers (< USD 0.03 per screening) Has a lower lifespan compared to the ClickCheck™ |
