Because we don’t necessarily have regular eye checks, and it’s not always easy to realize that we have vision loss, the World Health Organization has launched WHOeyes. Suitable for ages 8 and up, this free mobile app, accessible to iOS and Android users, on smartphones or tablets, allows you to quickly identify potential vision problems and encourage you to contact an ophthalmologist. And it only takes a few minutes, without leaving your home!

This near and distance vision test echoes, in a simplified way, the way professionals assess visual acuity without, of course, being as precise. Once the application is downloaded, follow the instructions to place your device at the right distance from your eyes (a signal is emitted when you have reached it) and slide the letters in the right direction. For distance vision, you will need someone to hold the device for you and slide the letters following your instructions. The smaller they get, the more difficult it becomes, depending on your eyesight. You will also find some information on eye protection. Happy testing!
