Fun fact: I have really terrible eyes. Not vision per say, but my eyeballs are all sorts of strangely shaped. Funny enough, they are both weirdly shaped in the same way so I’m not blind, just my mother’s little broken baby and a medical oddity. So, going to the optometrist every few years means all manner of questions.
I know for a lot of people going to the optometrist isn’t a top priority when compared to all the other medical concerns people have. The people behind the EyeQue VisionCheck seem to understand this and want to make getting your eyes checked at home a reality.
The EyeQue VisionCheck is a little automated device that looks like a monocular attached to your smartphone. Looking into the device in conjunction with the app the motorized device will measure you eyes’ refractive error. This is what optometrists measure to see whether you’re short or long-sighted and how much.
The team claims this little piece of kit can give you prescription-level measurements so you can get the perfect pair of glasses to fix your broken vision. I probably really should take a stab (wrong choice of words) at thing thing as I’m due for a new pair of glasses.
