If you don't want to go to the ophthalmologist for a quick refraction test, this app is perfect for you.

It was presented at CES 2021 in the Health and Wellbeing, Devices and Accessories category, being considered one of the most innovative products of that year.

Check out the app below that can test your vision and determine your eyeglass prescription.

VisionCheck 2 app

VisionCheck 2 introduces a new method that offers high precision when testing eyeglasses , according to experts in the field.

It guarantees the information that is important when making a new pairing.

According to a statement from EyeQue's corporate vice president of marketing: “We launched our first smartphone-based home refractometer in October 2016 and have announced several award-winning products since then.”

"Now, our next generation has been completely redesigned to make testing faster and easier ."

She also mentions that the app was developed over two years, based on member feedback, through nearly 150 tests conducted with this new technology.

“We designed it for you with a completely new format, app design , and test screens . A great user experience, which means more people can get results faster, easier, and more accurately,” he concluded.

The emergence of the gadget is already bringing optimism to experts.

How does the app work?

Developed by the company EyeQue, the VisionCheck 2 app should be used on a smartphone.

Then, when opened, the app will be able to measure the diopter error and pupil distance.

These measurements are considered the first step in conducting a vision test and determining the correct eyeglass prescription.

Then, the user can use the buttons on the screen to zoom in and out.

Taking into account the amount of movements, the application's algorithm will be able to calculate the refractive error.

After three complete tests, the app will return the numbers to the user.

With this data, the user can go to the optician to update the prescription of their glasses.

It is still possible to purchase new glasses online, sold by the company EyeQue itself, which allows the user to be carefully reviewed before placing their order.

The app is not a substitute for an ophthalmologist

Now, according to EyeQue executive Yu, this app should not be a substitute for an ophthalmologist , and regular checkups are very important.

Although the app proves very efficient at determining eyeglass prescriptions , regular consultations with a specialist are still essential.

Through such medical consultations, it is possible to diagnose eye diseases , such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, which are not identifiable through VisionCheck 2.

This app, when it was presented during CES 2021, had a pre-sale worth US$65, which was around R$342, via the crowdfunding website Kickstarter.

The VisionCheck 2 app is now available for iOS and Android systems.
