Problem statement 
Eye care professionals need portable tools for outreach programs that can provide immediate, on-site, and relatively accurate refractive corrections. 

Conventional refractors are bulky, expensive, and clinic bound. They limit portability in outreach programs, rural camps, and space-constrained setups. 

About the product / solution 
Folding Phoropter (FoFo) is a low-cost, portable, and origami-style, foldable device to measure refractive error. It is used for rapid, on-site, or remote vision screening, particularly in underserved communities to determine refractive error 

• Telescopic frame design 

• Lightweight construction 

• Simple functionality, easy to be trained 

• Rapid screening – quick, subjective and accurate, on-site refractive error testing 

• Portable, accessible & affordable 

• Quick deployment in outreach settings 

Designed for primary eye care, camps, and mobile clinics. 

Impact 
Community: Expands access to refractive services for remote eyecare or outreach, primary vision assessment and pediatric & school vision screening 
Commercial: Cost-effective alternative for startups of mobile refraction models
