Eyebot

👀 A behind-the-scenes look at some filming we did yesterday with the Baukunst team for the Art of Building series. Eyebot CEO Matthias Hofmann sat down with Baukunst Co-founder Matt Thoms to talk all things Eyebot, lessons learned along the way, advice for early-stage founders, and the AHA moment when he realized that there was a massive need for a solution like Eyebot. Big thanks to the entire Baukunst team for putting this together. Can't wait to share the finished version. #seeforyourself

🚨 We’re excited to announce the launch of Eyebot at 9-1-1 Vision Express in Edinboro, Pennsylvania 🚨 This marks our first deployment inside an independent optical shop. 9-1-1 Vision express is owned and operated by Anthony & Eva Simmons. Anthony is an American Board Certified Optician with over 30 years of experience in the optical industry. Independent optical retailers play a critical role in their communities. Partnering with practices like 9-1-1 Vision Express allows more people to update their glasses prescription quickly and conveniently while staying connected to in-person optical expertise. We’re proud to support forward-thinking optical partners who are bringing new options to their patients and customers. If you’re near Edinboro, stop by and check out the kiosk in action. #seeforyourself

Today is World Optometry Day. A sincere thank you to optometrists everywhere for the essential role you play in helping people see clearly, protecting eye health, and identifying broader health issues that would otherwise go unnoticed. Optometry is about far more than vision correction. It is primary care. It is prevention. It is early detection. And for many patients, it is life-changing. We’re grateful to work alongside dedicated clinicians like our Chief Medical Officer, Alexander Martin OD, FAAO, whose commitment to patient care reflects the impact optometrists make every day. We sat down for a short interview with Dr. Martin where he reflects on what draws people to optometry, what patients often misunderstand about the profession, and what makes great optometrists truly exceptional. A link to the full interview can be found in the comments. And today is also a good reminder to book that in-person comprehensive eye exam you might of been putting off. #seeforyourself #worldoptometryday2026 #visioncare
