The brilliant minds at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab have once again developed something so simple yet so incredibly effective to aid the third world – in this case, it deals with vision correction. Though it doesn’t replace a full fundoscopic examination, people who never had access to advanced technologies can now know how to go about seeing the world with more clarity. Oh, and check it out, the application runs on Google’s Android platform (probably would’ve been rejected from the Apple Store). ;-)

As a third year medical student at Baylor College of Medicine, my posts are intended to educate others and share my experiences from this incredible journey without violating patient privacy at all costs. These blurbs are not to serve as a replacement for recommendations provided by licensed physicians under any circumstance.
