1 Statement of the Problem

Technology has become part of everyone’s lives and is the most

important elements in today’s societies and its role in everyone’s lives keeps
getting complex. Using technology means using gadgets like: PS4,
cellphones, iPods, Personal Computers, laptops etc. People nowadays are
using too much gadgets and human eyes are not supposed to be glued to a
single object for extended period of time. The problem is that people don’t
have enough knowledge of what will it cost if a person uses a gadget in a
long period of time. The proponents will develop an android-based
application that can educate users about the common eye problems,
different vision problems, the symptoms and as well as treatments.

1.1.1 General Problem

How to develop and design a mobile application that will educate users on
how to properly take care of their eyes and understand the common eye problems,
their symptoms and as well as treatments.

1.1.2 Specific Problem

 How to design and develop a module that will help the users understand
the different vision problems, it’s symptoms and treatments.

Part of the millennials and the generation Z are now experiencing

the vision problems, that is because most of the people doesn’t have enough
knowledge to know about the vision problem and the lack of access to eye
care.

  How to design and develop a module that will include in depth
knowledge about common eye conditions.

In many remote parts of the developing world people remain silent

about the common eye condition such as cataracts, amblyopia and color
vision deficiency, most the people remain blind from cataract, due to a lack
of access to eye clinics.

 How to design and develop a module that will include an eye test that
will help the user identify if the user has a possible vision problem.

Most of the people especially in the remote parts of the city cannot
afford to go to clinics to get an eye test, that is why most of the people will
not know if there is a vision problem to check.

 How to design and develop a module that will include several eye
exercises intended to improve eyesight.

Eye strain is a real problem for a lot of people. Human eyes are not
supposed to stare in to a single object for extended periods of time. Eye
strain may cause discomfort and headaches.

1.2 Current State of Technology

The majority of contemporary population are dependent on and taking

advantage of the fast-changing technology, it is use as a source of entertainment for
instance music, online books and games. It also serves as a platform for many
businesses that contributes to the livelihood of the masses. However, it does
unfortunately have disadvantages alongside, with a prolonged exposure to
electronic devices will caused temporary partial impairment of eyesight or a
permanent irreversible damage in severe cases. Most of which of this happened due
to the lack of right information on the usage of electronic devices and long-term
abuse of usage will result to nerve damage. While in the internet-based searching
some of the information is inconsistent and inaccurate in terms of what we are
looking for. The proponents search for a mobile application that is about proper
caring of the eye and to educate the users. The proponents found Eye Hand Book.

Eye Hand Book application is for medical student and professional doctors,
Ken Lord a vitreoretinal specialist, Dr. Vinay Shah is an ophthalmologist and Rohit
Krishna a Glaucoma and Cataracts specialist. It is also a portal of ophthalmic
information giving users the ability to treat and diagnose eye conditions in virtually
any setting. It also features the ability to perform basic vision tests on a mobile
device, calculators’ section, this allows the users to perform intraocular lens
calculations, lens power transpositions, glaucoma risk calculations. The Eye
Handbook also has a digital Eye Atlas, it is a medical assistance program that
provide aide by spreading awareness on different diseases. The actual intended use
of the Eye Handbook Application serves as a comprehensive tool and reference for
eye-care professionals to treat and diagnose patients; besides from the vision tests,
it has an animated fixation target for younger patients; it is also equipped with
penlight function that physicians use to test pupil response in a darkened room
which have an index of hundreds of ophthalmic instruments and descriptions of
how they're used.

 The proponents will give emphasis to the application which has similarities,
however, the combination of these two applications will be useful and simple to
health experts and ordinary individuals to use as a basis and aid. This application
will promote awareness not only to the optical illnesses, as well as, preventive
measures to ensure that diseases and disorder can be avoided; it ain't much but it's
a honest work.
