Heru Showcases PretestPro Vision Diagnostic Tool at Vision Expo 2026
Key Takeaways
Heru introduced PretestPro, a rapid diagnostic workflow on its wearable vision platform that can complete a comprehensive pretest exam in under 2 minutes
The system combines multiple eye assessments—including confrontation visual field testing, near cover test, extraocular motility, and quantitative pupillometry—into a single VR- and eye-tracking-based exam
PretestPro is being showcased at Vision Expo 2026 in Orlando
Heru is showcasing PretestPro, a new rapid pretesting solution on its wearable platform, during Vision Expo 2026 in Orlando, Florida, at booth #2138.
The company said PretestPro is designed to complete a comprehensive pretest exam in under 2 minutes, offering a faster and more streamlined approach to diagnostic workflows in eye care clinics.
“PretestPro isn’t just a faster test. It is a fundamentally different way to structure the diagnostic workflow,” said Mohamed Abou Shousha, MD, PhD, founder and CEO of Heru and associate professor of clinical ophthalmology at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. “Traditional pretesting requires multiple devices and several manual steps. PretestPro consolidates these tests into a single wearable exam that runs about three times faster than traditional testing. The result is higher throughput for clinics, stronger clinical confidence for doctors, and a premium, modern diagnostic experience for patients."
PretestPro uses virtual reality (VR) and eye-tracking technology to perform multiple tests within a single guided workflow. Patients are prompted to maintain fixation through Nora, Heru’s patient-facing digital fixation target.
The exam integrates four common pretesting assessments:
8-point confrontation visual field (VF)
Near cover test
Extraocular motility (EOM)
Quantitative pupillometry
By digitizing these evaluations in one wearable platform, the company aims to replace several pieces of traditional diagnostic equipment while reducing manual steps during pretesting.
Heru’s portable platform incorporates an AI-driven “virtual technician” that guides patients through a series of automated tests. The wearable system can be used in traditional pretesting rooms, waiting areas, or remote care environments.
Beyond PretestPro, the platform supports a wide range of diagnostic functions, including:
Visual acuity testing
Firefly confrontation visual field testing
Suprathreshold and full threshold visual field tests (24-2, 10-2, and 30-2)
Esterman visual field testing
Ishihara color vision testing
Near and distance cover tests
Quantitative pupillometry
Extraocular motility testing
Heru said the platform is designed to digitize and automate manual eye exams, improving clinical consistency while increasing practice efficiency.
Heru said its broader goal is to expand access to advanced eye diagnostics, enabling vision testing to be conducted in more flexible settings, including remote or underserved areas. Additional information about the platform is available at seeheru.com.
