Your eyes
connect you to everything that matters

Your eye health check typically takes under 15 minutes. Depending on how much guidance our partner offers, this can vary slightly.

Yes. There are no drops, no needles, and no pupil dilation to worry about. You can go straight back to your day afterward.

No problem. The eye health check works fine without email or advance registration. At the optician: just call your preferred location directly, book an appointment, and ask about pricing there too. At the drugstore, you can simply walk in. In this case, you’ll receive your results report by post. It’s ready within 24 hours as usual, but sent by mail, so it’ll take a bit longer to reach you than an email would.

A visit to the optician checks how well you see, your prescription, for the right glasses. The eye health check looks at something different: the health of your retina. Many eye conditions develop over years without you noticing anything, and often without any change to your vision at first. So seeing well doesn’t automatically mean your eyes are in good health. Even if your last ophthalmologist visit wasn’t long ago, the check can still be worthwhile as a simple, regular check-in between visits.

The eye health check is a first step, not a replacement. It answers one simple question: are there signs that warrant a closer look from an ophthalmologist, or does everything look fine for now? To find out, your retina is photographed using medical equipment similar to what’s used in eye clinics. No eye drops, no pupil dilation. The images are then evaluated, and an ophthalmologist reviews every result. The check doesn’t diagnose or treat anything; it simply shows you, quickly and easily, whether a visit to the ophthalmologist makes sense. If you’re experiencing acute symptoms, please see a doctor directly.

That’s a common misconception. Eye screenings like glaucoma detection are usually an out-of-pocket cost, even at the ophthalmologist, you’ll typically pay for this yourself unless there’s a specific suspected condition. So the Skleo eye health check isn’t an extra hurdle, it makes this same kind of screening simple and accessible without the wait, whether you’re publicly or privately insured.

Right now, the eye health check is mostly paid out of pocket. But we’re actively working to make eye screening more accessible, and we’re building partnerships with health insurers to get there. It’s worth asking your insurer whether a partnership with us already applies to you. Our coverage is growing all the time.

Yes, absolutely. Many eye conditions are far easier to treat the earlier they’re caught. With conditions like glaucoma or diabetic retinal changes, timely medical care can help preserve your vision and slow progression. Once vision is lost, it usually can’t be restored, which is exactly why timing matters so much. Early detection gives you that window: the chance to act before you’d notice anything yourself.

Yes. The check is carried out on-site by staff who are specially trained for it. Taking the retina image itself is an established, standardized procedure. What really matters is the second step: the evaluation isn’t left to technology alone. AI supports the analysis, but an ophthalmologist reviews every single result before it reaches you.

Yes, your privacy is protected. The check doesn’t happen out in the open, it takes place in a private, screened-off area, with no one else watching. We’re just as careful with your data: it’s processed securely and in full compliance with GDPR, and it’s never shared without your consent. That means you get the convenience of a check somewhere you’d visit anyway, without giving up any discretion.

The retina is the inner lining of your eye, and one of the few places in the body where fine blood vessels and nerve tissue can be seen directly, with no invasive procedure at all. That’s exactly why it often shows changes so early, long before you’d notice anything yourself. A photo of your retina can reveal early signs of conditions like age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, or diabetic retinopathy. And the earlier these signs are caught, the better they can usually be managed with an ophthalmologist’s help. In short: your retina is an early warning system, and this check makes it easy to access.

Your privacy is our top priority. For specialist validation, your results are shared in pseudonymized form, so your privacy is protected throughout. Additional specialists only gain access if you actively choose to share it. Everything is stored fully encrypted in the Skleo Cloud.

Your data, your choice. We only use results to help improve our AI if you actively give us your explicit consent to do so. Even then, we only ever use it in fully anonymized form, so no conclusions can be drawn about you personally. Without your consent, your data is never used for training purposes.
