Do It Yourself Refraction

From those wonderful folks at MIT:

Lots of redos on the horizon, accommodating overcorrected myopes, intolerable cyls, internet diy'ers etc. etc.

This will work in remote places where they have to ODs or proper equipment but I agree with cleyes. In the U.S. they will still need a written Rx from they eye doctor. I will not be able to make glasses off your cell phone.

It should yield more consistent results than we get from the local tech's who refract at the MD's offices.
It would be interesting to see how our own RX compares to what the results comeout to be on the phone.
