What Eaglet Eye does
Eaglet Eye B.V. is a privately held Dutch medical device company headquartered in Houten, Netherlands, founded in 2011 by Arnoud Snepvangers (CEO) and Hans Brassé (CFO). The company develops the Eye Surface Profiler (ESP), a corneo-scleral profilometry device that captures full ocular surface elevation data using sagittal height measurements rather than the curvature-based approach used by standard topographers. The ESP enables eye care professionals to fit specialty contact lenses — including scleral, corneal gas-permeable, orthokeratology, hybrid, and custom soft lenses — for patients with irregular corneas, post-surgical cases, dry eye, and other conditions where standard topographers are insufficient.
The company's commercial model centers on direct hardware sales of the ESP device to specialty lens practices, complemented by the DirectConnect platform which integrates with more than 30 lens laboratories offering over 50 lens options for empirical lens ordering. Distribution is direct, supported by virtual demos, hands-on workshops (notably across the U.S.), active participation at major optometry conferences (GSLS, Opti, 100% OPTICAL, AAO, Vision Expo East), and a practitioner-finder directory on the company website. Customer testimonials cite ROI achieved in under 12 months, with one practitioner reporting a 2x return on investment and 92 lens fits in the year following acquisition. Recent strategic moves include the launch of an OrthoK module for myopia management and a November 2025 partnership with OVITZ to bring aberrometer integration to Europe, both of which extend the device's clinical utility. Eaglet Eye is founder-led, operating with 11-50 employees across markets in North America, Europe, and Africa, and won the 2025 BCLA Industry Award in recognition of more than a decade of pioneering work in corneo-scleral profilometry.

Brands
- Eye Surface Profiler (ESP): The flagship product - a cutting-edge solution for accurate corneal and scleral profilometry that transforms the way eye care professionals approach specialty lens fitting.
Products and services
- Eye Surface Profiler (ESP) A next-generation corneo-scleral topographer and ocular profilometry device that captures full elevation data of the ocular surface using sagittal height measurements. It is used by optometrists, ophthalmologists, and specialty contact lens practices for empirical fitting of scleral, corneal GP, orthokeratology, hybrid, and custom soft lenses for keratoconus, post-surgical, dry eye, and myopia management patients.
- OrthoK Module An add-on software module for the Eye Surface Profiler designed specifically for orthokeratology lens fitting, leveraging complete corneal elevation data for precise, tailored lens fitting in myopia management cases. It is sold to specialty eye care practices that already operate the ESP and want to expand into orthokeratology.

Eaglet Eye competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Carl Zeiss Meditec: Zeiss offers the Atlas corneal topographer alongside a broad portfolio of ophthalmic diagnostic and surgical devices (OCT, IOLMaster, Humphrey). It is a broad incumbent in eye care technology with overlapping specialty lens fitting capabilities, but the ESP competes against the Atlas within a much wider product portfolio.
- Tomey Corporation: Tomey produces ophthalmic diagnostic devices including corneal topographers and specular microscopes used in clinical eye care. It is a broad incumbent in ophthalmic instrumentation with products that overlap Eaglet's core topography use case.
- Topcon Healthcare: Topcon provides a full range of ophthalmic instruments including corneal topographers, OCT, and fundus imaging used in eye care practices. It is a broad incumbent with overlapping topography functionality for specialty lens fitting, but competes as part of a much larger multimodal diagnostic portfolio.
- Nidek: Nidek manufactures ophthalmic diagnostic equipment including autorefractors, keratometers, and corneal topographers. It is a broad incumbent supplying vision care equipment that competes with Eaglet in the eye care professional segment, though Nidek's portfolio is far broader.
Direct peers
- OCULUS (Bon Optic Vertriebsgesellschaft): OCULUS manufactures the Pentacam, a leading corneal topographer/tomographer widely used in refractive surgery planning and specialty lens fitting. It competes directly with Eaglet in ophthalmic diagnostics and shares the same specialty contact lens practitioner customer base.
- Medmont International: Medmont manufactures the Medmont E300 corneal topographer, a widely used device in specialty contact lens fitting practices. It is the closest direct competitor to Eaglet's Eye Surface Profiler, addressing the same practitioner segment (optometrists fitting scleral, OrthoK, and GP lenses) with curvature-based topography.
Others
- SynergEyes: SynergEyes manufactures hybrid and specialty contact lenses that depend on precise corneal and scleral measurement data. It is an adjacent player whose hybrid lens designs are fitted using elevation data the ESP provides, making it a complementary partner in the specialty lens ecosystem.
- BostonSight: BostonSight manufactures specialty scleral lenses (BostonSight SCLERAL, PROSE) and is both a partner lens laboratory integrated with the ESP via DirectConnect and an adjacent player in the specialty lens ecosystem that drives demand for ESP measurements.
- Visionary Optics: Visionary Optics is a specialty contact lens manufacturer (scleral, GP, custom soft) that is integrated with the ESP via DirectConnect. It is an adjacent/complementary player in the specialty lens value chain that benefits from and contributes to Eaglet's lab integration network.
Emerging players
- Heidelberg Engineering: Heidelberg Engineering specializes in high-resolution ophthalmic imaging (OCT, HRT, SPECTRALIS). Its anterior segment OCT is increasingly used in specialty lens fitting workflows, partially overlapping the ESP's corneo-scleral measurement use case with a different imaging modality.
