Fast Pattern Suprathreshold Visual Field & Farnsworth D-15 Extended Color Vision Exam
Heru

Heru has added two new testing modalities to its award-winning diagnostic platform: Fast Pattern Suprathreshold Visual Field and the Farnsworth D-15 extended color vision exam. Heru has created an award-winning and market-leading diagnostic platform that is the first of its kind. Its solution enables physicians to perform six diagnostic exams, with five revenue generating CPT codes in one single space-saving wearable platform. This multi-modal cloud-based platform replaces several legacy diagnostic devices, improves access to vision care and enables physicians to treat more patients while providing additional avenues for reimbursement, enhancing customer value.

Features: Heru’s new Fast Pattern performs a visual field screening in 20 seconds without refractive correction, and the clinical results are available in real-time. This is a major advancement that will empower physicians to screen every patient and detect progressive eye conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts sooner. Earlier intervention may lead to improved patient outcomes.

The new digital Farnsworth D-15 extended color vision exam (pictured here) eliminates standardized plates or discs, providing physicians with a fast, efficient solution for detecting and classifying color vision deficiencies. The exam is billable to insurance and supported by many ICD-10 codes, providing a revenue-generating opportunity. The digital D-15 exam joins the Ishihara color vision test currently available on the platform.
