While providing charity eye care in Haiti, Marc Albanese noticed that a single step in the process slowed everything else down. A complex eye-testing machine was essential, unwieldy and too costly to buy in multiples — and it became a bottleneck in giving people necessary care. Happily, the Boston University-trained clinician offered an innovation he’d created at his company, Smart Vision Labs: a version of the same machine at one-fiftieth the weight and one-hundredth of the cost.
