iPhone Eyechart App
Every so often, I browse iPhone’s app store looking for programs that are useful, interesting and, best of all, free. Very occasionally, I run across an app that may not be useful, but does seem interesting. It is usually the other way around, useful but not very interesting. Recently, I came across the EyeChart app.this app is just what it says it is, an eye chart. according to its help file, you can use this app to test someone’s vision. Holding the iPhone about 4 feet from the the smallest line of subject can read will tell you how good or bad subjects vision is from 20/20 to 20/200.
EyeChart v1.0 for iPhone (free): A Snellen Eye Chart is an eye chart used by eye care professionals and others to measure visual acuity. Snellen charts are named after the Dutch ophthalmologist Herman Snellen who developed the chart in 1862. While the classic Snellen chart is typically placed at 20′ or 6m, pocket-sized versions such as this one can provide useful screens for rough visual acuity.
I can’t attest to the program’s accuracy I do suspect that a trip to your eye doctor will get you better results. Regardless, this app should get a few laughs at your next office party. Or maybe the app could help someone understand what it means to be visually impaired.
The EyeChart app is available from the iPhone app store or on iTunes. Read more iPhone accessibility reviews here.
