Centre for Sight launches remote 3D eye imaging platform

Independent eye health clinic Centre for Sight has launched a 3D imaging system that allows key eye examinations to be carried out remotely.

The IMVIS (Infinite Medical Ventures Imaging System) platform digitises the traditional slit lamp exam – a core part of eye examinations – enabling clinicians to capture and review three-dimensional video images of the eye in real time or retrospectively via smartphones, tablets and computers.

The technology, developed by Centre for Sight medical director Sheraz Daya and retinal surgeon Professor Tom Williamson, is designed to support remote diagnosis, clinical collaboration and more efficient patient management. It is currently in use at Centre for Sight’s clinics in East Grinstead and Oxshott, with installations planned for Harley Street and London Lauriston Clinic.

According to the company, the platform also produces structured, objective datasets that can be used to train AI diagnostic tools and decision-support systems, with the aim of reducing clinician workload, increasing access to specialist care and cutting waiting times.

‘IMVIS makes fully remote eye care possible today while creating the clinical infrastructure for AI-driven diagnostics tomorrow,’ said Daya. ‘It’s more than an upgrade – it’s a new standard.’

IMVIS has been launched in partnership with Infinite Medical Ventures, a technology incubator established by Daya and Williamson to support the development and commercialisation of clinician-led innovations.

According to the company, a fundamental goal of the project has been to make the device affordable enough to be implemented by all eye care providers.

‘IMVIS will fundamentally change how we deliver eye care,’ said Williamson. ‘It will help reduce waiting times, make eye care more accessible, and open the door to scalable, AI-supported clinical decision-making.’
