Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Eye Remote at none against Ophthalmic Instruments's shown. Eye Remote also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 34 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Ophthalmic Instruments's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.2). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
