How It Works
Spect-IT uses your device's camera and screen to perform vision screening tests. Our technology:
- Measures your viewing distance using depth sensors on supported devices or camera-based distance estimation to ensure accurate test scaling
- Detects your face position and eye landmarks to ensure proper alignment during tests
- Presents calibrated test patterns optimized for your device's screen specifications
- Records your responses to determine visual acuity, refractive estimates, and other measurements
- Generates a screening report that you can review and share with your eye care provider
Privacy-First Design
Camera is used during tests for positioning and calibration. Test results are stored securely with your consent. We never sell your data. Learn more in our Privacy Policy.
