We’ve just published a short write-up about our experience at 100% Optical this weekend and it’s safe to say the momentum around AX1 is building.
The level of interest in the device from academia, independents and large groups was remarkable. What stood out most was how quickly optometrists were able to pick up the AX1 and start measuring axial length. In many cases, people were taking repeatable measurements within seconds of using the device for the first time.
That ease of use really matters.
Over the last few years there has been a clear shift in optometry. Myopia management is no longer something discussed occasionally - it’s increasingly recognised as part of a practitioner’s duty of care. Many more ECPs are now offering spectacle and contact lens solutions than ever before.
But many are still doing this without measuring axial length.
We heard the same challenges repeatedly:
• Existing systems are expensive
• Desktop devices take up valuable practice space
• Equipment gets tied up in testing rooms
So the idea of a handheld, fast, easy-to-use axial length device that fits into everyday workflows clearly resonated.
We also had some fun running the AX1 Scan Challenge at the stand. We found axial lengths ranging from 20.85 mm to 29.5 mm, and the fastest person scanned both of my (very long!) eyes in just 45 seconds — within minutes of picking up the device.
It really does feel like an exciting time for Occuity.

This weekend Occuity was delighted to attend the UK's largest Optical tradeshow - 100% Optical - with our UK Distributor, Birmingham Optical. And I have to say, the level of interest in Occuity’s technology was striking.
