Our second-generation CES-award winning vision test, VisionCheck, is powered by MIT-patented technology to help you learn about your refractive error i.e. your nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

You can use the EyeQue VisionCheck app if you:

- Have a single vision prescription between +8.00 and -10.00

- Have a cylinder between 0 and -5.00

- Are ages 25 and older

- Want to track your vision

You should not use the EyeQue VisionCheck app if you:

- Have light sensitivity

- Are colorblind or have difficulty differentiating between red and green

- Require a prism measurement

- Have difficulty holding up a smartphone while navigating the smartphone screen

- Have a medical condition that affects your eyes or eyesight, including but not limited to glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or cataracts.

The VisionCheck uses MIT-patented Inverse Shack-Hartmann technology, which utilizes optical lenses combined with your smartphone’s pixel movement, to measure where the light focuses on the back of your retina. This means that to take a vision test, you’ll attach the VisionCheck to your phone, which will act a light source during the test, then take multiple measurements at different angles by merging a red and a green line into a solid yellow line.

*This is a self-administered vision test and results may vary. Our test performance feedback instantly lets you know how well you tested and provides resources to improve test performance.*

Ratings and reviews

You have to turn your location on for the thing to work, why do they want my location when I'm using the app.!? I'd say the experience was confusing, I was unsure as to whether or not I should move the eyepiece to bring both red and green lines back into view when positions changed during the 9 position per eye test, or if that would change the outcome of the test. I may change my rating when I find out if my new glasses help or not.

The app works pretty smoothly, though it has glitched a couple of times and would no longer move the bars when the buttons were pushed. Restarting my phone and the app got it going again when this happened. I initially contacted customer service about a problem where it was giving me the wrong results for Sphere. They tracked down the problem to a software incompatibility with my Moto G6 phone. They corrected the cloud software (the app did not need to be reinstalled), and this corrected the problem. The results are only as good as you are with taking the test. It helps if you have a recent prescription to compare your results to make sure you are operating the device correctly.

At first placing it on your screen is a little difficult. I kept pressing the screen and it would go back. Once I figured that out it went very well. I did the test mode 3 times to get the angle of views for seeing the colored lines. Focusing your uncovered eye takes some practice. I'm on my 5th full scan and it is getting much easier to use. Looking foward to getting some new glasses. Plenty of videos to help you along. Loving it so far.
