Catra – Diagnose Cataracts with your Smartphone

Cataracts comes as one of the symptoms of many major diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension. Hence, early diagnosis tests for these diseases should be carried out by checking if the patient is suffering from a cataract.

MIT’s Media Lab has come up with an ingenious attachment called the Catra that allows individuals to carry out cataract test by using only their smart phones. The technology behind it may be rather simple but it definitely takes lots of tedious calculations and also in depth understanding of optics to produce reliable results.

The wide spread use of the technology is doubtful as many don’t find the need of purchasing an attachment when checkups could be done with the doctor. However, the Catra medical gadget comes within the size of a palm which enables the attachment to be both convenient and easily accessible. Serving as an alternative to the usual trips that a patient needs to make for an eye test, now it’s not only the apple that’s able to keep the doctor away.

The simple way of how the attachment operates is by allowing patients to view an image and having the patient response if the image seen was clear. Patients may be viewing the same image from time to time, but the repetition of the whole process is to send light to the different sections of the lens.

Determining which part of the lens is opaque relies on the response of the patients and the Catra will further compute the size and also the density of the cloud. With further programming that’s done in the smart phone itself, a full map of the different positions of clouds could be made for the patients.
