What Metrovision does

Metrovision is a French medical device manufacturer founded in 1993 by researchers from INSERM (the French National Institute of Health), headquartered in Pérenchies, France. The company specializes in multifunctional, Class IIa vision-testing instrumentation for ophthalmology, with products sold as FDA-cleared and CE-marked systems under a strict ISO 13485:2016 quality system. Its portfolio centers on the Vision Monitor all-in-one platform, which can execute up to ten tests (perimetry, dark adaptometry, FST/PAT, electrophysiology, video-oculography) on a single device backed by a unified database and interface; supporting instruments include MonCvONE-PRO/CR and MonCv3 perimeters, MonPackONE combined psychophysical-electrophysiology instrument, MonColor ganzfeld stimulator, MonBaby infant stimulator, MonVOG eye-movement system, and 3nethra neo HD retinograph (distributed from Forus Health). The core technology moats are a patented LED backlight monitor with closed-loop constant-luminance control and the OPTO optoelectronic architecture combining liquid-crystal matrix with LED illumination to deliver a 100 million (10+8) dynamic range that matches the human visual system; these underpin pattern ERG/VEP, multifocal stimulation, and high-temporal-accuracy (>1 ms) stimulation for both clinical and research use.

The company monetizes through quote-based hardware sales (with recurring electrode-consumable revenue), augmented by free internet/phone support, paid TeamViewer-based remote support, and recurring user training seminars in French and English. Go-to-market is sales-led: direct regional reps in France (Cordet, Drouot) plus internationally focused country managers covering Southern Europe/Middle East/Asia, Northern/Eastern Europe, North America/LatAm, and Africa, supported by a worldwide distributor network and active participation in major ophthalmology congresses (ARVO, SFO, ESCRS, Euretina, WOC, ISCEV, EUNOS). Customer segments are diversified across six clinical verticals—glaucoma, retina (including gene-therapy research), cataract and refractive surgery, pediatric ophthalmology, neuro-ophthalmology, and visual-aptitude assessment—serving hospitals, specialty clinics, and academic research institutions; the company reports ~100 peer-reviewed publications per year referencing its equipment, evidencing research-grade adoption. Partnerships include Odilia Vision GmbH (international IReST reading texts, 2021), Fraunhofer HHI (INVISIO co-development for pediatric vision testing), and Forus Health (distribution of 3nethra neo HD in francophone markets); R&D has been co-funded by OSEO/Bpifrance and the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER), with Eurostars-label recognition.

Core offering

Metrovision designs, manufactures, and sells Class IIa medical devices for visual function assessment, including full field projection perimeters, multifunction perimeters, ganzfeld stimulators for flash ERG/VEP, infant-specific stimulators, video-oculography eye trackers, and a multimodal all-in-one Vision Monitor platform. The systems integrate visual field perimetry, vision electrophysiology, dark adaptometry, pupillometry, and eye movement recording into unified hardware and software solutions used by ophthalmology clinics, hospitals, and clinical research institutions.

Product overview

Metrovision offers a portfolio of medical devices for visual function assessment. The Vision Monitor is the central all-in-one platform that can integrate multiple testing modalities. Key products include MonCvONE-PRO and MonCvONE-CR (full field projection perimeters for standard and research applications), MonCv3 (multifunction perimeter for central/peripheral fields), MonPackONE (combining psychophysical and electrophysiological testing), MonColor (ganzfeld stimulator), and MonBaby (infant-specific stimulator). The 3nethra neo HD provides retinal imaging for pediatric applications. These products share a common software platform and database architecture, allowing clinicians to configure systems for their specific needs and upgrade as requirements evolve.
