EyeCheck
Ophthalmological Intake Training for Medical Students
Available on both iPhone and Android, EyeCheck guides medical students through the ophthalmology intake process. It is specifically optimized to aid in low-resource Spanish-speaking clinics.
The app consists of four major sections:
History
Covers basic questions students should ask regarding the patient's condition, including chief complaint, history of present illness, family history, and social history. Instructions can be toggled between English and Spanish to aid with any language barriers.
Exam
Guides students through the components of the eye exam, including gross inspection, visual acuity, visual fields, extraocular movement, and pupil reactivity. EyeCheck also includes Snellen charts for determining visual acuity and a flashlight for assessing pupil reactivity. Spanish instructions are directly incorporated to help best interact with Spanish-speaking patients during the exam.
Pharmacy
Presents each of the different eye drops and when to use them, including for dilation, numbing, steroid, and glaucoma.
Glossary
Provides definitions for common ophthalmology conditions, as well as their Spanish translation.
