“…Moreover, Our method could be potentially integrated with Mandl, Langlotz, Ebner, Mori, Zollmann, Mohr, Kalkofen, et al [ 53 ] to support a broader user base with refractive vision impairments. On the other hand, in our work, we are not also addressing the solution to the color deficiency problem [ 54 ], which could also be important for supporting a larger user base.…”

A large portion of today’s world population suffers from vision impairments and wears prescription eyeglasses. However, prescription glasses cause additional bulk and discomfort when used with virtual reality (VR) headsets, negatively impacting the viewer’s visual experience. In this work, we remedy the usage of prescription eyeglasses with screens by shifting the optical complexity into the software. Our proposal is a prescription-aware rendering approach for providing sharper and more immersive imagery for screens, including VR headsets. To this end, we develop a differentiable display and visual perception model encapsulating the human visual system’s display-specific parameters, color, visual acuity, and user-specific refractive errors. Using this differentiable visual perception model, we optimize the rendered imagery in the display using gradient-descent solvers. This way, we provide prescription glasses-free sharper images for a person with vision impairments. We evaluate our approach and show significant quality and contrast improvements for users with vision impairments.

“…Supportive interventions should be created to encourage access to treatments and adjustments in educational and working contexts, such as assistive technology, alternative learning materials, and workplace adjustments. To improve the quality of healthcare, research and development should be supported, with an emphasis on new screening methods, treatment options, and rehabilitation and assistive technology devices (Male et al, 2022; Valero, 2022).…”

Color vision is crucial for daily life, and conditions such as color blindness and deficiencies can negatively impact one's quality of life and livelihood. According to a study in India there was an increase in the prevalence of color vision deficiency (CVD) among children and young adult teenagers, who are losing empowering opportunities in education and academics. However, this trend can be managed with evidence-based new interventions and objectives from India's developing nation models. This policy paper mainly highlights the need for effective strategies to address this issue. Early identification of CVD is crucial for effective interventions and rehabilitation to reduce medical, behavioral, and economic burdens on patients, families, and society. Strategies include policy prescriptions, advocacy, public health campaigns, investing in a trained workforce, and using technology to facilitate early screening in educational institutes. These strategies aim to address the growing healthcare crisis of CVD.
