Abstract

Problems in visual acuity are quite common in different age groups all over world. Early detection of refractive error can save patients from future complications. Patients suffering from problems in visual acuity due to age, environment and inherited diseases need an on-site inspection by a specialist. We have developed a handy online system for the diagnosis and possible spectacle solution based upon a cost effective and efficient technique using font magnifications and minifications. Our system eliminates the need of physical eyesight checkup and can be used very conveniently at home. The beauty of our system is that it does not require any extra hardware or skills. Experiments were conducted using this system on a wide range of patients and we found very promising results.
