Detecting deterioration of nearsightness

Abstract

Myopia becomes a more and more serious worldwide problem as the number of myopic people (especially young people) grows rapidly. Efficient methods are required to monitoring the deterioration of nearsightness so as to take further treatment. This demo realizes a noval nearsightness monitoring system, called iSee, which utilizes the widely used smartphones to detect the deterioration of nearsightness by monitoring and analysing the the distance between the eyes and the smartphone screen. A prototype of iSee has been developed to evaluated the effectiveness under different environmental conditions.
