Plano

Founded in 2017 and with the support of the Singapore National Eye Centre, Singapore Eye Research Institute and National Health Innovation Centre, Plano launched the world’s first science-based parental control application, planoApp, with a vision to “Keep all eyes healthy in our digitised world”.

With more than 1.5 billion people suffering from myopia, also known as short-sightedness, the number is expected to rise to 5 billion by 2050. Plano aims to tackle this epidemic that could see 1 billion people (by 2050) developing high myopia, which can lead to blindness. Studies have shown that excessive smart device use is a key contributing factor.

While we support the advances and uptake of technology, we believe in building safe and healthy relationships with devices. At Plano, we offer innovative solutions that better manage smart device use to improve eye health. As an official partner of the National Myopia Prevention Program in Singapore, Plano continues to innovate and participate in driving this initiative.

Today, Plano has an ecosystem comprising education and awareness, technological solutions and Artificial Intelligence (AI), that offers a wide range of eye health wellness solutions for all kids, parents and adults.

planoApp:
plano helps you manage your kid’s smart device use so it’s safe, healthy and balanced. It is also the only app that helps monitor myopia risk factors in young children.

How does it work? plano runs in the background of the smartphone or tablet, and if your kids are forming bad device habits, the plano app can help with functions such as ensuring good eye-to-screen distance, smart alerts for resting of eyes, scheduling no-device times, and even remote locking.

plano and all its eye health features are free to use, and will always be accessible without a paid subscription. In addition, new users get a free 30-day trial which also includes all the premium parental control functions.

planoEyecheck:
The planoEyecheck is part of the Plano Ecosystem and is your companion to healthy eyes throughout your life.

Just like medical check-ups and dental appointments, it is important to get your eyes examined from a trained professional regularly. Conditions like glaucoma, retinal detachment and macular degeneration are difficult to detect without comprehensive eye checks. Left untreated, they can lead to irreversible vision loss and even blindness. planoEyecheck is an easy-to-use booking platform that allows you to book an eye checkup in Singapore in under 1 min!
