1st Glaucoma Trial Completion

Seeing Machines Limited 10 January 2006 10 January 2006 SEEING MACHINES LIMITED ('Seeing Machines' or 'the Company') NON -CONTACT OBJECTIVE GLAUCOMA DEVICE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES FIRST MAJOR CLINICAL TRIAL Seeing Machines Limited (AIM : SEE), a leading developer of advanced computer based imaging software systems, announces the completion of the first major clinical trial of its new groundbreaking technology for objective detection and management of glaucoma, the group of eye diseases that affect peripheral vision, often leading to permanent loss of vision. Seeing Machines is developing a new medical device that assists clinicians to diagnose and manage disorders of the human visual system, particularly glaucoma. This recent trial has demonstrated with meaningful clinical utility, that the technology, as it stands today: • successfully detects the loss of visual field associated with glaucoma, and • successfully differentiates between those patients with visual field loss and those without, thus providing the basis for a reliable and accurate diagnostic instrument. Furthermore the trial has demonstrated significant opportunities for greatly improving the performance of the technology from the base-line used in this trial. Commenting on the trial, Nick Cerneaz, Chief Executive of Seeing Machines said: 'The technical progress demonstrated in this trial has assisted Seeing Machines in reaching a key milestone of our entire medical device development program. Our scientific teams, led by Drs. Ted Maddess and Andrew James from the Australian National University, have done a tremendous job so far and we are now well advanced in the development work arising from this trial. The preparations for the next major clinical trial aimed at testing these developments are well underway with an anticipated start date this quarter. We are very excited about these results and keen to build further on them as we pursue our goal of delivering the world's first non-contact objective test for glaucoma.'
