About Us

20 Years of Innovative Optometry Technology

After becoming frustrated with the lack of digital eye chart options and visual testing tools available within optometry technology in 1999, Dr. Daniel Bintz and Dr. Jerry Carter identified the need for a comprehensive digital acuity system. With Dr. Carter as the software developer and Dr. Bintz as the sales and marketing lead, this duo of doctors developed the first version of Acuity Pro, the first of its kind in optometry technology. 

Since the initial version was released over 20 years ago, ongoing version changes have been made based upon customer feedback. Acuity Pro has always had a “by doctors, for doctors” philosophy, and the difference in the details of our system shine through for all of our customers.

Innovations in Visual Acuity, Vision Care and Optometry Technology

Since it was founded, Acuity Pro has been a supporter of the vision care industry. In building optometry technology and visual testing tools, we wanted to create software that serves actual doctors well.

We have grown to have a worldwide reach, with over 8,000 optometrists and ophthalmologists in more than 20 countries around the globe and on the International Space Station in 2013.

We donate Acuity Pro systems to colleges of optometry, including two units for a mobile vision clinic for the Pacific University of Optometry and to the future optometry school in Haiti, through Optometry Giving Sight. We hope to reach and serve more people around the world with our visual acuity eye chart and other optometry technology.

Acuity Pro is also an active vendor at industry trade shows and supporters of trade journals. By advertising and sponsoring industry events and publications, we help make them more affordable for providers.

Leaders in Visual Acuity

We have made continual updates and improvements to our visual acuity software over the past 20+ years and will continue to do so.  We are open to peer feedback and strive to make Acuity Pro the best digital visual acuity system available in the world of optometry technology.

We are proud to offer live technical support, with a dedicated support phone number. Even after hours, we monitor our support voicemail and email inbox for urgent issues to ensure our digital eye chart works when you need it most.

We offer a variety of solutions, from a software only package to an All-In-One Digital Acuity System option that includes our recommended hardware, peripherals, and a multi-year warranty.

Acuity Pro on the International Space Station

Approximately 20% of astronauts develop eye problems while in space, with common diagnoses including papilledema, cotton wool spots, and increased intraocular pressure (IOP).

Our latest version of Acuity Pro is a state-of-the-art visual acuity testing program that is currently being used by NASA on the International Space Station to monitor and evaluate changes in astronauts’ vision. With our software, scientists can track potential eye problems in real-time as they progress, instead of having to wait until the astronauts return to Earth.

We are proud that our optometry technology is a part of NASA’s Ocular Health Study.

Saw the ad (in Review of Ophthalmology) – it looked great. I was proud to be a user and strong supporter of your software. I can’t imagine using a bulb projector ever again.
Michael Loeffler, M.D.Lighthouse Point, FL
Unbelievable tech support. Had a laptop first thing on a Monday morning bite the dust that was running Acuity Pro, I know nothing about Windows OS and was ready to panic. Toni was able to remotely load, configure, calibrate the extra laptop we had in office to get exam room up and running. Saved the day!
Frank Bier
I’d go with Acuity Pro in a heartbeat…
John Warren, O.D.Racine, WI
All of our doctor’s LOVE the Acuity Pro system. Fantastic product! Thanks.
Dan McQueen, O.D.Austin, TX
I love this software and wouldn’t want to go back to the “old way” even for a day!! Thanks
Lyne Ouellet O.D.Bathurst, NB Canada
I have been using Acuity Pro for 5 years with no problems. It is very easy to use and the staff has no difficulties moving between screens. I find the Speedy Acuity feature is a fantastic time saver. Also I upload various DVDs for premium IOLs and show them to selected patients while they are dilating. This is the best value in acuity software there is.
Jon Till, M.D.Roanoke, VA
When we purchased Acuity Pro, we were amazed at the number of things that it could do. Patients have been very pleased and comment about us being high tech. It is the single most dramatic improvement in acuity testing that I have seen. I recommend Acuity Pro highly.
Traer Caywood, O.D., FAAOSpringville, UT
I love your program. We have it in three rooms and a laptop in the dispensary. Keep up the good work. This has helped put the fun back into practice.
Vin McMahon, O.D.Keene, NH
Acuity Pro has made doing a refraction easier with all the chart options, especially for kids. I find myself wondering how I practiced without it.
Vicki Leung, O.D.Woodland Hills, CA
I LOVE MY Acuity Pro eye chart program. It is the BEST EYE CHART I HAVE EVER USED, EVER! Sorry for the shouting, but randomly generated letters obtained with single click keyboard access is just too good to be true. I recently bought Acuity Pro after upgrading from a wall-mounted (boring) eye chart, and am wildly happy with it, but technology does that for me!
Dr. Malinda HalleyDapto, New South Wales Australia
Thanks so much for your help getting my new exam room set up with your 8.0 version! I have always been happy with the 6.0 version, and I am sure I will be even happier with the 8.0. The computerized acuity system has been one of the best decisions (and investments) I have made in my 30 years of practice!
Robert Powelson, O.D.Shinnston, WV
Acuity Pro is a great product. Our doctors and staff find it easy to use. Acuity Pro is very versatile, and customizable. It allows us to switch between pediatrics and adults efficiently. The remote is easy to learn and use and Acuity Pro’s customer support has been excellent. The owners ofAcuity Pro continue to innovate and you get a tremendous value for your investment with this product.
Chris Swanson, O.D.Lawton, OK
I have used Acuity Pro since I started my practice almost 4 years ago. It has made life so easy switching between the Snellen and children’s charts with the touch of a button. Not to mention how impressed every patient is by the ‘updated chart’. I’ve recommended it to every student that rotates through my office.
Monte Harrel, O.D. Tulsa, OK
Acuity Pro has much more to offer than the conventional projectors, manual or automated, but the impression to the patient is worth it alone. I have had patients comment on how up-to-date our office is compared to the last office they visited because their prior eye doctor was still shining letters on the wall (versus computer controlled).
Tom Unger, O.D.Troy, IL
It is refreshing to interact with someone who is interested in our business and not just theirs. No sour grapes, you just stand out from the rest.
Kathy BolingBoling Laser Center - Elkhart, IN
Just wanted to send a note saying I love my new Acuity ProTM with flat screen monitors! It makes a difference in patient’s perception of being hi-tech but without actually timing it, it seems to have taken about 4-5 minutes off my total exam time. Maybe it just seems like it but my refractions seem almost embarrassingly quick. I almost (but don’t) feel guilty for being so quick. We make up for it with patient education…. it really has added some fun back into my exams and helping my practice at the same time.
Tory Moore, O.D.Dumas, TX
I just used it on my first four patients and it is very very sweet. I thought there would be a learning curve, but already I can see it is easier than using a projector.
John Scibal, O.D.Morehead City, NC
I love the random letter ability. In fact, some patients think they’ve read the chart incorrectly because I switch letters (covertly!) while they change cover paddle from left to right eye….
Kelly Gelarden, O.D.Brownburg, IN
Your product is superb; for the price it is unbeatable. I have saved thousands of dollars on bulbs and new projectors since we are using “retired” computers from our office network. We love it for kids, especially because we don’t have to search for slides and we can switch instantly to tumbling E, numbers, HOTV, Landolt C, etc.
Pat Pirotte, O.D. - Pediatric Optometric PhysicianWichita, KS
No commercially available acuity chart program is less expensive than Acuity Pro, and it offers more than programs costing much more. Best bang for the buck I’ve ever had, and patients always remark about the cool flat screen up on the wall.
Jay Petersma, O.D.Johnston, IA
Recently upgraded to Acuity Pro Version 9. Thanks to Toni who made it happen for us! She promptly shipped all the materials and accessories to me. Once I opened the package and loaded the thumb drive, it was a piece of cake to get up and running again. The Version 9 upgrade has some very nice features that all of the doctors and technicians at our practice like very much. Acuity Pro is definitely the best! Thanks again Toni!
Bruce A. Ousley, O.D.Highland Village, TX
Our Contact Lens Clinic used to have projectors that required dim room illumination, which causes pupil dilation, making it difficult if not impossible for Bifocal contact lens fitting. With Acuity Pro, the computer screen brightness allows testing in normal room illumination. Additionally, the patient has to read the same line of acuity many times during fitting & follow-up and even more in complex cases. The ability to have an unlimited number of 20/20 and 20/15 letters/lines is very valuable. Our students like the ease of use and robust features that Acuity Pro provides.
Bill Edmondson, MAT, O.D.Professor, Northeastern State University College of Optometry
We have had Acuity Pro in our 3 exam rooms for several years and wonder what life was like back in the dark ages of using a projector. Using Acuity Pro is a great way to recycle any old computers sitting around the office which were replaced by faster ones.
Cliff Silverman, O.D.Lancaster, CA
Our doctors and patients have enjoyed our Acuity Pro system. Its ‘high tech’ feel complements our new offices and contributes to a more efficient, accurate exam and a higher level of patient satisfaction. I have found the owner’s manual to be very helpful for not only answering questions but also for explaining how to maximize the features of the software. Also, the ability to add downloaded image and video files gives it incredible versatility. All eye doctors needing or wanting an updated visual acuity presentation system should give serious consideration to this excellent product.
Mark Sarno, O.D.Optometric Association of Florida
It's marvelous. I wished I’d had it years ago. No more blown bulbs or poor contrast. Patients can no longer memorize the chart. For the price, nothing else out there comes close.
Jason Kaminski, O.D.Longmont, CO
What price can you put on the WOW factor patients perceive when I use my computerized eye chart? It fits in with the modern, state of the art office I have and enables me to differentiate myself from other optometrists. Patients do tend to equate your professional expertise with how hi-tech your equipment is and the eye chart is a very affordable and effective marketing tool.
Della Chow, O.D.Vancouver, B.C. Canada
Very cool product…
Edward L Hedaya, M.D.Lakewood, NJ
We have Acuity Pro in all of our exam rooms and really like it a lot. We get a lot more consistency from room to room than we previously got with projectors. We have 15 inch flat screens mounted in all exam lanes connected to the same computer we input all our patient records in (so we have two monitors in each room, one on the counter and one on the wall).
Daniel C. Perdue, O.D.Mid-Columbia Eyecare Center - Pasco, WA
I have been using Acuity Pro for at least 12 years. Computers have come and gone but there was never a software issue. Pretty impressive. At one point I tried multiple other electronic acuity charts lured by their bells and whistles but all had some software issue that we do not have time for. I have only called Acuity Pro support once in all those years to help reinstall on a new computer. That computer is still running, XP no less without a hiccup. It is a sound product that you can trust, computers not so much.
Edward Savarno, O.D.
Forget the price of projectors, bulbs, mirrors, etc. There is NO COMPARISON between the functionality you get with Acuity Pro and a remote controlled projector. I wouldn’t go back to a projector if you paid me.” ……. “These guys have done a great job of listening to their users and fine tuning the software over the past couple of years.
Marcia Detloff, O.D.Cary, NC
