The Vision Guard provides the capability of detecting seven vision problems: Astigmatism, Color Blindness, Depth Perception, Macular Degeneration, Contrast Sensitivity, Visual Acuity and Strabismus accurately based on standard methodologies and technologies in a user friendly manner.Macular Degeneration is detected using the Amsler grid test. Testing for the Depth Perception status is done using 3D images. Astigmatism will be tested using the help of a chart and a dial. In order to detect the Contrast Sensitivity of the user, this application uses images with different contrast levels. To detect Color Blindness of the users, the proposed application uses Ishihara test.

It also includes training exercise for vision problems which are recommended by ophthalmologists. It allows users to diagnose their vision impairments at an early stage so that they can be treated quickly before it becomes critical. The Symptom Checker is another additional feature which provides a list of symptoms to be selected by the user and then the application will provide a list of eye diseases with details that the user might be suffering from. This application is available in three different languages which are English, Sinhala and Tamil.
