==Prescription Virtual Reality Screens== | |||
EyeNetra is planning to create vision corrected screens for [[virtual reality]]. The company has been having discussions with several [[VR companies]] about the possibility of integrating their technology into VR displays. The custom screens would fit the users' eyeglass prescriptions. This would make for a better experience for people who are wearing glasses and could also prevent some common problems that are associated with virtual reality experiences such as nausea, headaches, and fatigue. | |||

NETRA has already served more than 12,000 people in EyeNetra's Nayantara program in India. India has a big shortage of trained eye care professionals and villagers often need to travel a very large distance to receive a diagnosis and get a suitable eye care. The part of the Nayantara program is a training of selected villagers to be able to provide a diagnosis in their communities and recommend further treatment. The similar on-demand testing, called Blink, has also been launched in New York. | NETRA has already served more than 12,000 people in EyeNetra's Nayantara program in India.
