Inside information, Optomed Aurora with AEYE has received FDA clearance in the
US

Optomed is pleased to announce that it has today received information that AEYE
-DS with Optomed Aurora has received a 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food &
Drug Administration (FDA) to market and sell the AI camera.

“I'm thrilled to announce that our Optomed Aurora handheld fundus camera with
AEYE's AI has received FDA clearance. This milestone marks a significant
advancement in healthcare technology as Aurora AEYE is the first handheld AI
screening solution to obtain FDA clearance. We expect this to revolutionize
patient care and diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of vision
loss in working-age adults.

The capability to perform screening with just one image per eye and deliver
results on-the-spot within 60 seconds showcases the product's user-friendly
design and rapid diagnostic process. Commercialization is supported by already
existing reimbursement code in the US and the fact that diabetic retinopathy
screening in primary care may positively influence key healthcare metrics such
as HEDIS scores.

I would also like to extend our gratitude to AEYE Health for steering the
regulatory process in professional manner. Optomed will provide the Aurora AEYE
screening solution as a service together with AEYE Health that enables our
clients to start using the solution without the burden of startup costs. This
solution is expected to start the transformation of our business into a
recurring revenue model.” CEO Juho Himberg says.

Zack Dvey-Aharon, Ph.D., Co-Founder and CEO of AEYE Health comments: ”We're
thrilled to be receiving the first-ever FDA clearance for a portable AI
screening solution, and we extend our appreciation to Optomed. Their unwavering
collaboration and shared vision have been instrumental in this remarkable
achievement. Together we have demonstrated the power of partnership and
innovation in advancing healthcare technology for the betterment of all. This is
a true game-changer, and we cannot be more excited to see Aurora AEYE in
market.”

The Company's future outlook remains as-is at this point but Optomed continues
to assess the outlook as the sales and marketing of the new solution proceed.

Optomed expects its full year 2024 revenue to grow compared to 2023.
