Smartphone diagnostic and cloud platform make eye care accessible

http://eyenetra.com/netra-g.html

Vinod Khosla and others have invested in MIT Media Lab’s EyeNetra, a smartphone attachment that claims to diagnose nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.  The device is positioned as a less bulky alternative to the Shack-Hartmann Wavefront sensor.  A $2 eyepiece is clipped onto a phone.  The user then clicks to align the displayed patterns.  The number of clicks required to bring the patterns into alignment indicates the refractive error.  Patients connect to corrective lens providers through a cloud based system.  The technology provides access to eye exams in the developing world.

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you
    relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something
    informative to read?
