Hate eye tests? Soon you’ll be able to monitor your eyesight at home.

Most of us only know how good our eyesight is when an optometrist measures how far down the eye chart we can read. However, a University of Auckland laboratory is combining artificial intelligence with consumer-devices to use eReaders to diagnose eye disease, 3D videogames to replace eyepatches, and eyetrackers to diagnose a range of brain conditions.

Eventually, with this technology, every time we use a digital device – say to watch a Netflix movie or to read this blurb – our health-record will be updated with a detailed assessment of our vision. No test required!

Professor Steven Dakin presents this lively talk as part of the Raising the Bar event, presented by the University of Auckland. Leading academics share their latest scientific research in Auckland bars. 20 talks take place in 10 Auckland central bars on one night.

This event is free but attendees must register in advance.

Professor Steven Dakin is Head of the School of Optometry and Vision Science and chairs Eye Health Aotearoa.
