About EyeCheck.app
Our mission is to make early detection of vision issues simple, accessible and effective for everyone. Everyone deserves access to quality healthcare screening.
Our story
Can someone live with a cataract and not even know it?
Our founder Andy was born with a cataract in his right eye. He didn’t know his vision was impaired until a school vision screening at age eight.
Roughly one in four school-aged children have undiagnosed vision problems, and by 2050 half of the world’s population is projected to be myopic.1
It started with the Children Eye Screening Book, a guide for teachers and parents to spot children’s vision problems, funded on Indiegogo. That project became EyeCheck.app: a platform for individuals, schools, clinics, charities and researchers to detect vision problems early.

UN Sustainable Development Goals
Our commitment to the Global Goals
Free, early eye screening supports four of the UN Sustainable Development Goals: health, education, decent work and reduced inequalities.
Goal 3
Goal 4Quality education
Undetected vision problems hold children back in class. Schools can screen a whole class for free.
Goal 8Decent work and economic growth
Good vision helps people work safely and well. A quick check shows adults when it’s time for a full exam.
Free for adults · about 5 minutes
Goal 10Reduced inequalities
No app, no appointment and no cost, so families far from an eye clinic can still get screened.

About the 17 goals ↗How we keep our tests accurate
Our tests are based on clinically validated screening methods and reviewed by a qualified optometrist. Each eye gets a clear Pass or Refer result, and we’re open about what an online screening can and can’t tell you.
