RightEye Neuro Vision Concussion Test Unveiled at American Academy of Optometry Show

Revolutionary 15-second eye exam uses eye tracking technology, improves care for patients of head injury and stroke

Very interesting. It would be valuable in a trainers' office as a 'remove from play' system. But, it is too expensive to be used by most schools/teams. A college or busy concussion clinic may be able to afford it. ImPACT has already found the price-point that schools can afford, $10 per use or $500 to $800 per year for an entire school.

There are other similar systems that use computers to track smooth pursuit protocol. One company claims the use of a light bar is obsolete technology and does not provide the best results.

The company website does not reveal much about the program. Do they do baseline testing ?
It appears they use this same system for vision performance diagnostics and vision training and the concussion protocol is a recent add-on.

It will be interesting to see if they change their price structure so it can be more widely used.
