Deliver corrective lenses at low cost • High capital costs of equipment to fabricate lenses Problem: • Skilled, trained technicians required to operate fabrication equipment • Capital tied up in large inventory of lens blanks at multiple distribution layers Solution: • Much less expensive equipment • Low technical skill requirements • Little / no inventory of blanks to carry Confidential to OptiOpia April 1, 2011 Presentation to Jeffrey Epstein 5 EFTA01114286 Current Auto-refractors Today's auto-refractors (ARs) are for offices in US, EU, Japan Almost all use id i'LLIEfl targets Technician uses to help doctor prescribe more quickly & accurately Highly accurate - unless accommodation fluctuates Confidential to OptiOpia April 1, 2011 Presentation to Jeffrey Epstein 6 EFTA01114287 Current Auto-refractors Two Portable Models Welch-Allyn SureSight ($5,000) is failing Right Medical RetinoMax (ex-Nikon) is more expensive (>1M Yen or $12,000) Extensive research in US by NEI on value for screening 3-5 year-old children Table-top models range in price, quality & after-market service $6,000 to $15,000 The OptiOpia Auto-Refractor will be manufactured for less than $200 COGS and priced for each region $2,500 - $5,000 for US; < $1,000 for very poor regions Confidential to OptiOpia April 1, 2011 Presentation to Jeffrey Epstein EFTA01114288 OptiOpia Autorefractor - Additional Product Benefits Fixed or Portable Stabilize Accommodation with Familiar & Interactive Targets Confidential to OptiOpia April 1, 2011 Presentation to Jeffrey Epstein 8 EFTA01114289 Subjective Refraction See-through feature + manual control of lens power = subjective refraction capability Streamlined refractive service delivery: no need to reposition at phoropter station Confidential to OptiOpia April 1, 2011 Presentation to Jeffrey Epstein 9 EFTA01114290 Special Product Benefits Monocular Subjective Refraction Capability 20/200 Phoropter not necessary for many F p 2 20/100 patients T 0 Z 3 20/70 LPED 4 20/50 Device is more powerful with more PECFD XDFCZ! 5 e 20/40 20/30 skilled operator morsv 20/25 e 20/20 9 10 Confidential to OptiOpla April 1, 2011 Presentation to Jeffrey Eps An EFTA01114291 Children & Special Patients Objective refraction (ARs & retinoscopy) is necessary method for • young children (< 7) • mentally disabled • across a language barrier (And is a useful method for routine refractive service on all patients) .nfidential to OptlOpla April 1, 2011 Presentation to Jeffrey Epstein 11 EFTA01114292 OptiOpia Autorefractor - Key Product Benefits Portable Rugged Accurate Easy-to-Use Low-Cost ow ow' Confidential to Opt'°pia April 1, 2011 Presentation to Jeffrey Epstein 12 EFTA01114293  PirV Scheiner Double-Pinhole Principle 11 Two parallel beams of light intersect at a single retinal locus in emmetrope and in ametropia at 2 loci with separation proportional to absolute value of ametropia IDEAL LENS Emmetrope RETINA 3 Pairs of Beams Myope Hyperope Our approach is to cancel the refractive error with a variable-power optic Three meridia suffice to measure astigmatism Confidential to OptiOpia April 1, 2011 Presentation to Jeffrey Epstein 13 EFTA01114294 Low Cost Autorefractor - Design Features Inexpensive <$200 COGS vs. current $5,000 - $15,000 • Mass-produced high-performance components Lasers, CMOS imaging, Microprocessor • Modern plastic optics manufacture Special Variable Optic Lens (confidential) Portable, Rugged & See-through - Compact Design Easy to use - (features of competition) Accurate - "See-through" feature • increases stability of accommodation: patient looks at real world and device "auto-focuses" to correct prescription • enables fine-tuning of prescription by trained eyecare professional or technology-assisted vision tester LEO/ Variable Optic Patient's Fho °detect or Bement Eye Array , / .4--- ;_C-r-------- io.
