We’re Skleo

We’re here to eliminate preventable blindness.

Transforming eye care from late diagnosis to early prevention, for millions at risk.

Our approach

True prevention starts here

At Skleo, we’re establishing a new standard for eye care everywhere for everyone. Here is how :

Getting Screened
  • Screen:

    9-minute tests at opticians, pharmacies, drugstores, and corporates.

  • Sort:

    AI + Doctors validate screening results with accuracy, 100+ pathologies.

  • Guide:

    If needed, we connect patients directly to eye doctors within days.

Where it began

Our story

Skleo didn’t start in a boardroom; it started in the clinic.

At Charité Berlin, our co-founder Dr. Steffen Künzel, saw patients losing vision too late, while specialists were stuck on routine checks, drowning under endless waitlists.

The idea was simple: bring preventive screenings out of overwhelmed clinics and into everyday life. 

Opticians, drugstores, pharmacies, workplaces. Screen earlier, catch more, free doctors for those who need care most: prevention that finally works. Screen earlier, catch more, free doctors for those who need care most: prevention that finally works.

Screening alone isn’t enough. Skleo closes the loop.

From a nine-minute screening to a doctor’s appointment within days. Doctor-validated, AI-assisted, and fully connected, we turn prevention into a complete, accountable patient journey.

Since 2024, Skleo has grown fast: 12,000+ screenings, 50+ cities, 100+ locations.

Partnerships with Mister Spex, dm, and Sanoptis clinics, €3M in seed funding, and scientific collaboration with Charité, building prevention nationwide.

We’re just getting started. Skleo’s vision is clear:

We’re here to eliminate blindness by setting a new standard for eye care. We plan to do so internationally.

    Grateful to Skleo for their accessible screening. Without it, I’d never have seen an eye doctor. Now I’m receiving treatment that might otherwise have come too late. Thank you for making a real difference!
