Vision tests via cellphone

A team at the MIT Media Lab has developed a vision test called Near-Eye Tool for Refractive Assessment (NETRA) that uses a cellphone, a clip-on eyepiece and free software.  Further testing will be done this fall here at NECO to compare the results from conventional techniques to results from NETRA.
