Simon Skalicky FRANZCO, PhD is an Australian glaucoma sub-specialist ophthalmologist with a passion for using digital technology to improve glaucoma services and patients’ experiences.
He is an Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne, Centre for Eye Research Australia, where he teaches medical students, Ophthalmology trainees and glaucoma fellows.
A/Prof Skalicky serves on the Australian and New Zealand Glaucoma Society executive and the editorial board of the Journal of Glaucoma. He is the immediate Past President of Glaucoma Australia and is actively involved in the World Glaucoma Association.
Simon is both a clinician and glaucoma researcher with over 60 publications. A strong advocate for patients, his research background includes the impact of glaucoma on patients’ quality of life, and more recently the benefits of online visual field testing through personal devices.
Simon is a skilled computer programmer, versed in python, javascript and cloud computing. In 2019 he founded Eyeonic, supported by Microsoft, to provide online perimetry on any computer or tablet.
Simon has experienced first-hand the challenges of glaucoma service delivery, and how poor or non-existent glaucoma services leads to irreversible blindness that could have been prevented.
Experience the global impact of Associate Professor Simon Skalicky as he presents Eyeonic’s pioneering research and technology to the international ophthalmic community. Through these captured moments from conferences around the world, you can explore his journey in making hospital-grade glaucoma detection accessible across continents. From keynote addresses to clinical workshops, Simon continues to lead the conversation on the future of digital eye care and the life-changing potential of AI-powered perimetry.
Press EnquiriesEyeonic turns a standard computer or tablet into a sophisticated visual field testing device:
You are asked to cover one eye and keep your gaze on a central target.
Small light stimuli are shown at different points of your peripheral vision. Some are easier to see, others are dimmer – this helps determine the faintest spots you can detect.
The test usually focuses on the central 24 degrees of your vision, using dozens of test locations. From your responses, a map of your visual field is generated for each eye.
Your sensitivity at each point is compared with age-matched normal data. Areas that are reduced are flagged as potential visual field defects for your clinician to interpret.
Throughout the test, Eyeonic uses your device’s camera to monitor head position and gaze. If you move too far, too close, or away from the fixation target, the test pauses and on-screen and verbal instructions guide you back into the correct position before continuing.
The shared vision of reducing blindness globally through improved access to critical eyecare diagnosis via digital products is being realised.
