I'm not talking about seeing. I talk about look. Because there is an abysmal difference between the two, and your smartphone is about to reveal it to you.
Imagine this: you're reading this text right now, but what if I told you that maybe you're not seeing all the colors you should?
Or that this slight difficulty in focusing on signs from afar is not just fatigue? We live glued to screens for hours, forcing our eyes mercilessly, and paradoxically, those same screens can become our first ally to discover how well 'Bad Bike' we are seeing the world.
Technology has democratized something you could only do in a doctor's office before: evaluate your vision. And the best of all is that you have it in your pocket.

The silent revolution in visual health
Before you had to wait months for an ophthalmological appointment.
Then pay for a consultation.
Then discovering that maybe it wasn't so urgent.
Or yes it was, but you were late.
Times have changed. Visual assessment apps do not replace the specialist Let's be clear about that, but they do work as an early warning system. Like that friend who tells you “oye, you should check that” before the problem becomes serious.
The fascinating part? These apps use the same scientific principles that optometrists have employed for decades. The difference is that they are now optimized for the screen you look at 150 times a day.
Eye Care: your personal eye trainer
Think of Eye Care as that personal trainer you never had for your eyes.
The application understands something fundamental: prevention is smarter than regret.
It's not just about measuring how well you see now, but about protecting how you will see tomorrow. Eye Care incorporates exercises specifically designed to combat computer vision syndrome, that set of discomforts that appear after spending hours in front of screens.
Did you know that you should rest your eyes every 20 minutes?
Probably yes.
You do?
Probably not.
Eye Care becomes your external memory. Reminds you to blink (Absi, when you are focused you blink 66% less) and guides you through exercises that seem simple but are tremendously effective. Follow moving objects, shift focus between near and far distances, relax eye muscles.
The interface is intuitive because it understands that no one wants to complicate their life with confusing menus when the objective is precisely to reduce visual stress. You open the app, follow the instructions, and in five minutes your eyes thank you.
But here comes the really interesting thing: Eye Care also includes basic visual acuity tests. Those letters that decrease in size, the same ones you see in the ophthalmologist's office, but adapted for your screen. It is not a medical diagnosis (Bug will never be a medical diagnosis but it is a valuable reference to know if you should worry or if everything is going well.
Color Blindness Checker: when red is not red
Now let's talk about something that affects millions of people without them knowing it.
Color blindness.
Approximately 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women have some degree of deficiency in color perception. Many live their entire lives without knowing it, unconsciously compensating, memorizing that the upper traffic light is “stop” not because of color but because of position.
Color Blindness Checker dismantle that mystery.
The application uses the famous Ishihara sheets, those circles full of colored dots where numbers or shapes are hidden. If you have normal color vision, you see them clearly. If you have color blindness, they just disappear. Or you see different numbers.
It is an eye-opening experience.
Almost disturbing.
Because suddenly you realize that other people are seeing a slightly different world than yours. Or that you are seeing a different world than theirs.
The app is not limited to diagnosing. Explains you what kind you could have color blindness: protanopia (difficulty with red), deuteranopia (difficulty with green), tritanopia (difficulty with blue). Each type has its particularities, its daily challenges, its solutions.
And here's the bright part: Color Blindness Checker includes simulators that allow people with normal vision to see the world as someone with color blindness sees it. You can take a photo and apply different filters. It is educational, empathetic, and tremendously useful for designers, artists, or simply to better understand someone close to you.
The app also offers practical tips for navigating a world designed primarily for people with full color vision. From choosing clothing combinations to adjusting the settings of your devices to improve contrast.
Vision Test: the complete evaluation in your pocket
If Eye Care is your trainer and Color Blindness Checker is your color feature detector, then Vision Test it's your portable medical exam.
This application goes further.
Much further.
Vision Test offers a complete battery of tests that evaluate different aspects of your vision. He's not content to ask you if you can read the fine print. Want to know how you see, with what precision, under what conditions.
The visual acuity test here is more sophisticated. Adjust the size, contrast, recommended distance. It asks you to physically measure the distance between your eyes and the screen to calibrate correctly. Details matter when we talk about accuracy.
But it doesn't end there.
Vision Test includes the astigmatism test, that visual defect where the cornea has an irregular curvature. The test is simple but effective: radial lines emanating from a center. If some lines look sharper or darker than others, it could indicate astigmatism.
There is also the famous one amsler grille, crucial for detecting problems in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision. You look at a central point on a grid and if the lines appear wavy, distorted or with missing areas, it is a red flag that you should not ignore.
The app evaluates contrast vision, your ability to distinguish objects that do not have clearly defined edges. This is especially important for activities such as driving at night or in fog.
And yes, it also includes color perception tests, although not as specialized as Color Blindness Checker.
The most valuable thing about Vision Test is how it organizes and presents the results. It leaves you with no doubts. It shows you clear graphs, understandable explanations, and most importantly: recommendations on when you should consult a specialist.
Conclusion
Your eyes are irreplaceable. There is no backup, there is no plan B, there is no second chance if you neglect them for too long. And although it sounds dramatic, it is simply true.
The good news is that caring for them has never been more accessible. Eye Care helps you train and rest them, protecting them from everyday digital wear and tear. Color Blindness Checker reveals whether you are seeing all the colors you should, opening doors to solutions and adaptations. Vision Test offers you a complete and serious evaluation of multiple aspects of your vision.
Three applications. Fifteen minutes of your time. Priceless information about how you are seeing the world.
What is the excuse for not doing it today?
Technology has already done its part. Now it's your turn. Download one of these apps, complete the tests, and make informed decisions about your visual health. Because there is a huge difference between seeing and looking, and you deserve to experience both to the fullest of your ability.
The world is too beautiful to see blurred.
