You have probably asked yourself the question when seeing our application: "Can my phone really tell me if I need glasses?". It is a natural doubt. We are used to eye exams taking place exclusively in a dark consulting room full of complex machinery.
However, the short answer is yes. And the long answer involves the precise convergence of physics, optics, and optometry with the most advanced technological development.
It's not magic, it's science
VisionApp is not a simple filter. Behind the interface, there is a Computer Vision engine that transforms your smartphone into a precision tool. To ensure that the measurement is valid, we control three key factors:
Facial calibration via Artificial Intelligence
Forget about using standard cards or manual rulers to measure distance. VisionApp uses intelligent facial detection models that analyze your face in real time.
The system detects your features and their position with millimeter precision regarding the screen pixels, automatically calculating the exact distance at which you must place yourself to perform the test.
Dynamic optotypes
We are not limited to the ABCs. Our technology goes beyond showing random letters; we incorporate specific line patterns and orientations. This allows us to assess your prescription more precisely.
Precision through Color
Our eyes react differently depending on the light. VisionApp uses specific color combinations to check how your eye focuses on different wavelengths. This allows us to fine-tune the measurement and detect if there is an over-correction or under-correction in your vision.
Scientific Validation
What differentiates VisionApp from a "game" is scientific rigor. Our tests are designed following standardized clinical and optical protocols. We work constantly in collaboration with academic institutions to compare our results with those obtained in a traditional cabinet.
Does this replace your eye care professional?
Absolutely not. VisionApp is a screening and preventive monitoring tool. Our technology is excellent for detecting changes in your vision, but it cannot detect pathologies, such as glaucoma or retinal problems, which require a physical examination.
Our mission is to connect technology and health: giving you the power to monitor your vision from home so that you know exactly when it is time to visit the specialist.
The future of visual health is hybrid: the combination of home technology and professional care is already a reality.
