Many people with vision loss are unaware of it. Regular vision checks can ensure that vision impairment is identified at the earliest so that you can take action to continue enjoying your sight. WHOeyes is a free mobile application that tests distance and near visual acuity and is suitable for anyone aged over 8 years. The principle of WHOeyes is based on how an eye care professional would test your vision using a conventional chart in a clinical setting. The accuracy of WHOeyes was tested in two research studies. The app does not replace the need for regular eye checks by an eye care professional, even if your vision is good. WHO and the developers of the app cannot be held responsible or liable for any incorrect results. WHOeyes is compatible with iPhone 8 and above.

Been staring at a screen? Eyerobics offers a short change of focus with playful visual exercises and a simple daily routine. YOUR DAILY TWO MINUTES Start a daily selection of three short exercises, or choose a 60-second reset when you have less time. SIX WAYS TO PRACTICE • Spot the odd one: find the disk that differs in shade. • Chase: tap a moving dot as it gets smaller and faster. • Pop: find and tap the red ball among bouncing balls. • Follow: watch a pattern of drifting stripes. • Lock on: keep your gaze on a red dot while stripes move behind it. • Wind down: rest your gaze on the center of a gently drifting pattern. A ROUTINE AT YOUR OWN PACE Practice individual exercises, keep a daily streak, and set an optional local reminder. Gentle sound effects can be turned off in Settings. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Your streaks, best times, and settings stay on your device. The app has no account system or analytics. Eyerobics is for general wellness and relaxation. It is not an eye exam, diagnostic tool, or treatment, and it does not promise improved vision. See an eye doctor about any concern with your vision.
