In the long history of measuring human sight, the tools have often been as burdensome as the conditions they sought to diagnose — until now. A Boston startup called PerZeption, working alongside global ophthalmology leader Alcon, has validated a cloud-based vision assessment platform capable of delivering clinically meaningful results in under three minutes, on a standard tablet, from nearly anywhere. Presented at ARVO 2026, the collaboration marks a moment when the weight of specialized equipment and lengthy chair time may finally begin to lift — and when the question of how well we see becom
