Overview of the NYU Langone Vision Check App
The NYU Langone Vision Check app is a mobile tool created to help people evaluate their eyesight before a telehealth visit or an in-person appointment with an eye care professional. Built by NYU Langone Medical Center, the app is intended to be used alongside your NYU Langone Health MyChart profile so results can be shared with your care team.
How it connects with your medical record
After you complete the visual assessments in the app, you can securely send the results to MyChart. Your NYU Langone clinician can then review those findings and discuss them with you during a scheduled visit or a virtual consultation.
Practical advantages and typical uses

- Offers a convenient iPhone-based way to perform basic visual tests at home.
- Helps you arrive at appointments better prepared by providing objective measurements beforehand.
- Enables direct, secure submission of test data to your MyChart account for provider review.
- Was developed by NYU Langone Medical Center specifically for integration with its care workflows.

Important precautions
This app is a screening and preparatory tool, not a substitute for professional medical evaluation. If you have concerns about your vision or need treatment, contact your eye care provider and do not rely solely on app results to make medical decisions.
