EYE PHONE

Eye examination today is characterized by the use of a autorefractor, a diagnostic device cost $ 20,000 which bounces infrared light of the retina to determine the necessary correction for an image can come into focus.

Smart Vision Labs (New York, USA) has developed a substitute for the traditional device, a handheld cost of $ 3,950, the SVOne, which uses the camera of an iPhone, processor and wireless connection to examine patients wherever they are and manage their cases online. The unit weighs 0.9 pounds, and has the size and shape of a paperback book. The SVOne also works as aberrometer wavefront: the technology that drives a laser during Lasik surgery, projecting a grid of about 100 red dots on the retina of the patient to measure any change. Not only is the SVOne convenient for ophthalmologists to use in their offices, but can not afford eye exams for residents of less developed countries that do not have access to an eye doctor / medical center.
