A Team based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a tool to perform eye tests using a mobile. NETRA (Near-Eye Tool for Refractive Assessment) state that the tool does not require expertise, any mobile users can use, also cost only $ 1-2 which will be reduced further in future. Interestingly, the complete test can be completed in 2 minutes.
Associate Professor Ramesh Raskar and postdoctoral research associate Ankit Mohan, along with their team at MIT’s Media Lab have developed the NETRA tool for mobiles.
The eye testing process with NETRA is quite simple. Users will need to see in the lens of NETRA. He will see 2 lines, one red color and other green color. Than user need to adjust and bring both the lines aligned into one. For people without any eye problem, both the lines will be seen merged. The process is repeated 8 times from different angles. The software loaded in the mobile will than provide required information.
The team will be start commercial use of the technology under company “PerfectSight” which will be a for profit company. The team aims to target Asia and Africa in the beginning. The NETRA tool is claimed to be both faster and accurate over traditional methods. Ramesh Kaskar, one of the team member said, “By using high-resolution LCD displays with this system, it is potentially not only much faster than today’s standard methods, but also “potentially more accurate.”
