Portable Eye Examination Kit

Portable Eye Examination Kit

Capture

As technology continues to advance within the medical industry, innovations are being developed to provide help to those who are normally thousands of miles from any clinic or hospital in developing countries. One such innovation is Peek Retina, a Portable Eye Examination Kit. The team behind the technology are currently crowdfunding to help fund the manufacture and distribution of the kit.

Peek Retina is essentially an adapter that can be placed over a smartphone camera allowing health workers to take photos of inside the eye, then save and send these photos to experts for diagnosis, allowing the health workers to then provide treatment to cure or prevent eye conditions or diseases.

The project is a collaboration between the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the University of Strathclyde and the NHS Glasgow Centre for Ophthalmic Research with the aim of developing all aspects of a comprehensive eye examination on a mobile platform.

As cited on the BBC, Dr Giardini, lecturer in the department of biomedical engineering at the University of Strathclyde, said: “The Peek Retina adapter is the most exciting thing my group has ever designed; it is incredibly simple and yet it will change the way we look at eyes.”

With around 80% of blind people losing their sight to preventable and treatable conditions, this project is one that is urgently needed.

To help the team with their funding efforts, please visit the Peek Retina page.

Dr Tappin and the team at LaserVision were amazing. I underwent Lasik corrective surgery and the process could not have been smoother. I was guided through the process with care and professionalism throughout. My results have been outstanding. I could not have asked for more from the team at LaserVision and I am truly grateful for my new vision.

Utterly professional and caring from start to finish. I was quite nervous about having laser but am so pleased with the results. There has always been someone to advise and support every step of the way and patient care and well being really is the priority here. Thank you for looking after me and my eyes so well.

Dr Jayaswal has been amazing and changed my life. He made me feel so comfortable and relaxed in his care at the first meet, to remembering me with a personalised greeting, calmly explaining the procedure and reassuring me all the way through the surgery. I couldn’t recommend him enough for Lasik eye surgery - I now have perfect vision, a real dream come true! Thank you so much!

I had lens replacement surgery. After being both short sighted and long sighted for decades I can now see near and far without glasses or contact lens. It really is amazing. The care was great and so far the recovery has been easy.

Amazing service from start to finish, I had LASIK surgery in August this year after years of consideration I finally took the plunge and went for the surgery with Mr Tappin. Mr Mike Tappin and his team were brilliant from the consultation right through to the surgery and aftercare. Mr Tappin and his team were very reassuring throughout the surgery and put me at ease every step of the way. If you are thinking about having laser eye treatment or at the start of your journey with it, I would highly recommend seeing Mr Tappin and his team!
