DIY Vision Screening Kit
The DIY Vision Screening Kit by S.R.Gopal Rao Opticians & Optometrists is designed to make preliminary vision screening simple, fun, engaging, and accessible to everyone, especially children. This easy-to-use kit empowers parents, children, schools and families to identify early signs of vision issues such as Myopia and Astigmatism, helping children receive timely care.
​
Through fun stories and interactive activities, the kit not only raises awareness about good eye health practices but also makes the process enjoyable for kids. With rising cases of Myopia, early detection is crucial in preventing long-term vision problems, and this kit provides an effective solution to promote regular vision checks in a fun and educational way.
​
The DIY Vision Screening Kit does not replace the role of an Optometrist or an Opthalmologist. A yearly or bi-annual full eye check up is a must for each member of the family, or as recommended by your Eye Specialist. This kit helps you keep a check on you and your family's vision more frequently, from the comforts of your own home and can be used multiple times without any limits. This kit allows you to check your vision as frequently as everyday, weekly, monthly or several times in a day too! Use it as frequently as you like and as long as you like. It will help you look out for signs of Myopia or Astigmatism. This kit will help you understand and take control of your eye health from the get go! It is built for people of all age groups, with a focus on kids below the age of 9 years.
At S.R.Gopal Rao Opticians & Optometrists, we believe that good vision is essential for a bright future, especially for children. That’s why we’ve developed the DIY Vision Screening Kit—an educational tool designed to promote eye health among young ones. This kit empowers parents and children to take proactive steps in maintaining healthy eyes, ensuring that children and every member of the family can see clearly and thrive.
