AEYE Health

RetinaLyze

Best overall

For everyday users, neither AEYE Health nor RetinaLyze is a personal app you download on your phone—they are enterprise tools for clinics and hospitals. RetinaLyze wins for versatility and ease of integration with existing eye care equipment, while AEYE Health wins for fully autonomous, instant diabetic retinopathy screening without needing a specialist. The single biggest difference: AEYE Health requires no physician interpretation for its diagnosis, whereas RetinaLyze provides explainable results for clinicians to review.

Market Value

Choose AEYE Health if

You run a primary care clinic or endocrinology office and want to screen diabetic patients for retinopathy on the spot without sending them to an eye doctor.
You need a fully autonomous, FDA-cleared solution that generates a billable diagnostic report (CPT 92229) without physician interpretation.
You are setting up a teleretinal screening program and want a system that works with both portable and tabletop cameras.
You want to close HEDIS quality gaps for diabetic eye exams in a large patient population.

Choose RetinaLyze if

You already have retinal cameras (Topcon, Canon, etc.) and want an AI that integrates seamlessly without buying new hardware.
You need to screen for multiple eye diseases (diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, AMD) from the same scan.
You want explainable results with visual overlays to help you or your staff understand why the AI flagged something.
You run a large optometry chain or hospital network and need a scalable cloud solution with telemedicine and referral tools.

Key differences

AEYE Health is fully autonomous (no doctor needed for the initial diagnosis); RetinaLyze requires a clinician to review the AI's findings.
RetinaLyze detects multiple diseases (DR, glaucoma, AMD); AEYE Health in the US only detects diabetic retinopathy.
RetinaLyze integrates with 60+ devices and EHRs; AEYE Health has no listed integrations or API.
AEYE Health is FDA-cleared for autonomous screening; RetinaLyze is compliant with GDPR/HIPAA but not specifically FDA-cleared as autonomous.
RetinaLyze is cloud-based SaaS with transparent monthly pricing (custom); AEYE Health is enterprise with contact-sales pricing.
Neither tool has a mobile app for patients – both are clinic-facing systems.

AEYE Health: strengths & weaknesses

Fully autonomous AI – no doctor needed to interpret the result, so screening can happen in a primary care office or pharmacy.
Instant report in about 1 minute, which speeds up patient visits.
FDA-cleared for diabetic retinopathy, so it meets US regulatory standards.
Works with both portable handheld cameras and tabletop models, giving clinics flexibility.
Only screens for diabetic retinopathy in the US – broader disease screening (AEYE-X) isn't available yet.
No mobile app for patients or small clinics – it's a full clinic system.
Pricing is enterprise-only, likely expensive for a small practice without volume.
No API or integrations listed, so it may not plug into existing electronic health records easily.

RetinaLyze: strengths & weaknesses

Detects multiple conditions: diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration from one scan.
Works with over 60 different cameras and integrates with PACS/EHR systems, so it fits into existing workflows.
Provides explainable overlays and measurements (like cup-to-disc ratio), helping clinicians trust and understand the AI.
Built-in telemedicine features let you send referrals to specialists without extra software.
Cloud-only – no offline or self-hosted option, which may be a problem in areas with poor internet.
Pricing is not transparent; you must contact sales, and it's likely a monthly subscription per clinic.
Requires a clinician to review the results – it's not fully autonomous like AEYE Health.
No mobile app for patients; it's designed for eye care professionals, not end-users.

Common questions

Can I use AEYE Health or RetinaLyze on my phone as a patient?

No. Both are designed for clinics and hospitals. You cannot download them as a patient app. They require special retinal cameras and are operated by healthcare staff.

Which tool is better for a small eye clinic with a limited budget?

RetinaLyze is likely more budget-friendly because it works with cameras you may already own and offers a monthly subscription. AEYE Health requires buying compatible cameras and a custom enterprise contract, which is usually more expensive upfront.

Does RetinaLyze give a final diagnosis like AEYE Health?

No. RetinaLyze provides AI-assisted findings and overlays, but a clinician must interpret them to make a final diagnosis. AEYE Health's AEYE-DS gives an autonomous diagnostic report that does not need a doctor's interpretation.

Is AEYE Health better than RetinaLyze for diabetic retinopathy screening?

For fully autonomous, instant screening without a specialist, yes – AEYE Health is better. But if you want to also screen for glaucoma and AMD, RetinaLyze is more versatile.

Do these tools work with my existing retinal camera?

RetinaLyze supports over 60 devices, so it likely works with common cameras. AEYE Health supports specific cameras (Optomed Aurora, Topcon) – check compatibility before buying.

Which tool is easier to set up for a non-technical clinic staff?

RetinaLyze is easier because it integrates with existing cameras and EHRs, and the cloud setup is straightforward. AEYE Health may require more upfront hardware and workflow changes.

AEYE Health is the autonomous specialist for diabetic retinopathy; RetinaLyze is the versatile multi-disease assistant that fits into existing eye care workflows.

If you run a clinic and want a versatile AI that works with your current cameras and catches multiple eye diseases, go with RetinaLyze. If your main goal is to screen diabetic patients without needing an eye doctor on-site, AEYE Health is the more autonomous choice. Neither is a personal app, so talk to your IT team before buying.
