What is the RETIPLUS® system?
THE RETIPLUS SYSTEM is a software installed on EPSON MOVERIO SmartGlasses that the patient wears and a tablet that the O/O perates.
The O/O RETIPLUS KIT is composed of the aforementioned devices with RETIPLUS inside that are exclusively dedicated to the “RETIPLUS Digital Eye test”.
Both devices are connected via Bluetooth so the Tablet screen shows the same image as the SmartGlasses displays. All image parameters that the O/O configure on the Tablet (position, size, zoom, bright, contrast) show on the displays on real time. This is what we call “RETIPLUS digital eye test”.
How does RETIPLUS work?
RETIPLUS uses the SmartGlasses front-camera (1) to capture the image in front of the patients eyes (figure # 2). Our proprietary algorithm processes the video image captured by the camera in real-time to be processed according to the specific patient vision condition.
The process is defined and calibrated by eye care professional. Then, the video image is projected on the SmartGlasses displays (2), superimposing a computer-generated image on a user’s view of the real world, thus providing a composite view optimized for maximizing patients vision.
Finally, during its use in daily activities, the user is able, thanks to the SmartGlasses controller (3), to calibrate the video-parameters as brightness and contrast as well as making zoom in/zoom out and other functions as contours & silhouette view. This enables its perfect adaptation to different environments, ambient lights and to long and short distance. It makes RETIPLUS the ALL-IN-ONE solution for every activity of daily living (static and mobility tasks).
RETIPLUS® SYSTEM advantages for the Professional

- Zooming image in and out.
- Walking facilitating orientation.
- Regulating contrast and bright.

Optometrists' FAQs
How can I get certified as an RCO?
PLUSINDES regularly holds RETIPLUS Certification Courses that are announced on this website. The courses are face-to-face and explain the methodology and conclusions of the RETIPLUS Clinical Study, as well as guidelines for patient selection, clinical techniques to perform the evaluation of the patient's visual function through the SmartGlasses, and the procedures and experience for the "RETIPLUS digital eye test".
Is the KIT RETIPLUS included in the Course?
The KIT RETIPLUS is included in the Course and the total amount is stronglyreduced. The Professional receives his RETIPLUS KIT at the beginning of the Course, and uses it simultaneously during the explanations to familiarize himself, quickly understand its functionality and be able to use it immediately afterwards in his Optical Center.
Can the Patient directly acquire the SmartGlasses with RETIPLUS?
RETIPLUS® is prescribed and sold through Ophthalmology and OptometryCenters that have Certified Specialists, RETIPLUS® CERTIFIED OPTOMETRISTS (RCOs).
Can the Patient acquire RETIPLUS® without training with their Specialist?
Does the System need to be connected to the internet to work?
