全世界有三千九百萬盲人，其中大部分是肇因於能夠被治癒或是預防的疾病。要如何替住在偏遠、連昂貴龐大的設備都無法抵達的地區的人們做檢查並治療呢？TED 研究會員安德魯·巴斯陶若斯展示了一套智慧型手機應用程式以及便宜的裝置，可以幫助我們實現這件事。

Most of the world's 39 million blind people lost their sight to diseases that could be cured or prevented. In remote and low-income regions, traditional eye care equipment is often unavailable, yet mobile phones are common. By turning smartphones into low-cost diagnostic tools, even minimally trained workers can bring advanced eye exams directly to people's homes. This simple innovation turns a once daunting medical challenge into a solvable, community-powered effort.
