SlitLED Israel

What SlitLED Israel does

SlitLED Israel, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Haifa, Israel, develops a telemedicine slit lamp examination system designed to enable licensed ophthalmologists to conduct comprehensive eye exams remotely with the same diagnostic precision as in-office visits. The core SlitLED Examination System integrates high-resolution imaging, automated slit illumination controls, and stereoscopic (3D) viewing, allowing a remote physician to control examination parameters in real time while a local operator (typically at an optical retail site) positions the patient. Real-time interaction permits the physician to request additional views and deliver immediate diagnostic feedback based on high-definition 3D visuals.

Core offering

SlitLED designs and sells an automated telemedicine slit lamp examination system that enables remote eye examinations with high-resolution 3D stereo imaging. The device allows licensed ophthalmologists to remotely control slit illumination and stereoscopic examination parameters in real time, while local operators at optical stores or clinic sites conduct the exam with the patient. The company sells the hardware primarily to tele-optometry and tele-ophthalmology providers, optical retail chains, and eye care clinics and hospitals.

Product overview

SlitLED offers a single unified telemedicine product — the SlitLED Examination System. This advanced automated slit lamp device integrates high-resolution imaging, automated slit illumination, and stereoscopic viewing capabilities, enabling remote eye examinations with the same precision as in-office visits. Licensed ophthalmologists can view high-definition 3D diagnostic images in real time, request additional tests, and provide immediate feedback while patients undergo examinations locally at nearby optical stores.

Direct peers

• 20/20NOW: 20/20NOW operates tele-optometry services inside optical retail stores with remote licensed optometrists performing examinations without an on-site doctor. It is a direct peer because it sells the same outcome SlitLED delivers: tech-enabled comprehensive eye exams in optical retail locations powered by remote clinicians.
• Topcon Corporation: Topcon is one of the largest global manufacturers of ophthalmic diagnostic devices, including traditional slit lamps. It is directly comparable to SlitLED because both sell devices used in comprehensive eye examinations, and Topcon's installed base is the most likely incumbents to either partner with or compete against SlitLED's telemedicine-enabled slit lamp.
• Nidek Co., Ltd. Nidek manufactures ophthalmic diagnostic equipment including slit lamps, autorefractors, and imaging systems used by optometrists and ophthalmologists. It is comparable to SlitLED as a competing ophthalmic diagnostic hardware vendor and as a likely target to introduce its own telemedicine-capable slit lamp variant.
• Haag-Streit Group: Haag-Streit is a long-established slit lamp and ophthalmic diagnostic equipment maker whose namesake slit lamp is the gold standard SlitLED explicitly reinvents. They compete head-to-head on the clinical examination device, making Haag-Streit one of the closest direct peers.
• IRIS (Intelligent Retinal Imaging Systems): IRIS provides tele-retinal screening services and devices to optical retail chains, primary care, and tele-health networks, enabling remote eye disease detection. It is highly comparable because it pairs hardware with a telemedicine service model for eye care delivered through retail and partner locations, mirroring SlitLED's GTM.

Broad incumbents

• Carl Zeiss Meditec: Carl Zeiss Meditec is a global diversified ophthalmic and surgical device company spanning diagnostics, surgical microscopes, and IOLs. It is a broad incumbent rather than a focused slit-lamp competitor, but its diagnostic imaging portfolio sits adjacent to SlitLED's hardware and could house a future rival telemedicine platform.
• Heidelberg Engineering: Heidelberg Engineering specializes in ophthalmic imaging (OCT, fundus, scanning laser) used in clinical retina and glaucoma workflows. It overlaps with SlitLED on the diagnostic imaging layer and represents a broader incumbent whose installed imaging systems could be combined with a telemedicine workflow.
• RetinaVue (Hillrom / Baxter): RetinaVue by Hillrom (now part of Baxter) deploys hand-held retinal imaging cameras and a tele-ophthalmology network across primary care and retail pharmacy locations. It overlaps on remote eye imaging and channel-based deployment, though it focuses on retinal screening rather than full slit lamp examination.

Emerging players

• Notal Vision: Notal Vision provides remote patient monitoring and at-home diagnostic imaging for retinal disease, with a telemedicine-style service layer. It is comparable as a fellow emerging ophthalmic telemedicine player with a home- or remote-based exam model rather than retail-site based.
• Eyenuk Inc. Eyenuk provides AI-based autonomous diabetic retinopathy screening, pairing a fundus camera with a remote diagnostic AI layer used by optical and primary care channels. It is comparable to SlitLED on the AI-plus-telemedicine diagnosis pattern and the optical retail channel strategy.
