Our ability to see is a fragile sense, and there are countless ways that can degrade our vision. The idea of having to visit the doctor to have our vision checked can be a frightening feeling for everyone, and that’s why EyeQue launched a new, comprehensive, low-cost solution to test your vision.
The EyeQue Vision Monitoring kit gives you the ability to test your vision virtually anywhere. This low-cost option includes kits for both adults and children and has the ability to measure your vision from 20/20 to 20/400. Aside from testing your vision, you’ll also be able to order glasses and track any vision changes over time.
The kit includes several components to provide you with an at-home comprehensive test for your vision. “Insight Plus” measures your visual acuity, which is your ability to see 20/20 to 20/400. This provides you with the exact measurements of single and dual eye performance. You can also take this test while wearing corrective glasses or contacts, to let you know if you need an updated prescription. Insight Plus is designed for ages six and up, with each test taking about a minute to complete. This new version will also have a new iOS/Android app with an improved interface, training sessions, and a tutorial guide.
PDCheck will give you accurate measurements of your pupillary distance, which is the distance between the centers of your pupils. The PD number is vital in allowing you to get great fitting glasses. VisionCheck, which is ideal for adults, measures the refractive error in each eye. This test will give you your results in the form of EyeGlass numbers, which is the number needed to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The complete set comes in a soft-shelled carrying case that makes it easy to store, travel, and protect the products.
“We’re excited to bring a complete system to people. Our customers have expressed their appreciation for measuring their refractive error with the VisionCheck, then testing the effectiveness of their glasses or contacts with the Insight– and using Insight to instantly keep tabs on the whole family’s vision throughout the year. The introduction of Insight Plus is the perfect opportunity to bring a full vision monitoring system to people everywhere – combining all of our latest devices and applications into one carrying case, at one low price.” said John Serri, PhD., co-founder and president of EyeQue
The EyeQue monitoring kit is now available on their IndieGoGo campaign with pledge levels starting at $119. The products are scheduled to deliver to backers by the end of November. At the time of this article, the EyeQue campaign has raised $3,135 of their $25,000 goal.
