Eye disease can be surely considered as the problem of these days. Almost every third inhabitant of our planet complains about poor eyesight or other problems connected with eyes. The number of people wearing glasses or contact lenses is rapidly increasing. That is why the question of maintenance or improvement of eyesight is quite pressing nowadays.
The project is aimed at computer users who spend a lot of time in front of the screens. The most part of PC users have Computer vision syndrome (CVS). According to US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 90% of people who spend three or more hours in front of computer suffer from computer vision syndrome.
Symptoms:
The first group includes:
Smarting and "sandpaper" in the eyes;
Pain in the area of eye sockets and forehead;
Eye redness;
Lacrimation (tear secretion) or vice-versa, xerophthalmus (eye dryness).
The second group includes:
blur of vision;
weak focusing;
distorted eye perception;
double vision;
Fast eye fatigue.The aim of the project is to promote the new method of overcoming the CVS. This method is based on using of a unique 3D technology which helps to remove eye muscle tension and normalize the accommodation of the eye (the ability to focus on objects). At present, the applications for iPad and Android tablets are developed which use this technology. The next step is to implement the programs for Mac and Windows.
