EYEQ: An Application to Detect Vision Abnormalities

Abstract

The lack of access to eyecare, high costs, low awareness, and common vision conditions pose a major challenge, and can lead to late detection of vision conditions that can compromise eye health. Due to the rise of the technology industry, human lives have become severely hectic, resulting in less situations to prioritize health and well-being. According to the World Health Organization, at least 2.2 billion people have vision impairments, of which at least 1 billion of these could have been prevented if they were detected. This paper introduces an innovative web application, EYEQ, to address these challenges. EYEQ offers a wide range of services to enhance user eye health and wellness, including an eye blink symptom checker, a digitalized tumbling E test, doctor reservation capabilities, and prescription management. EYEQ has been endorsed by respected ophthalmologists and optometrists and has been shown to be accurate in detecting various visual disorders. The application has the potential to improve the early detection of eye conditions and reduce the risk of vision loss and impairment.
