Allan Hytowitz and Michael Hessing with DYOP VISION

Allan Hytowitz & Michael Hessing/DYOP VISION

Dynamic Optotype (DYOP) is a revolutionary new eye test that measures visual acuity more precisely. Eye-opening research has proven that the DYOP is six times more accurate, eight times as consistent, and three times as fast and efficient as the Snellen Test (Big E chart), which has been the worldwide vision testing standard since 1862. The DYOP doesn’t require the ability to read, and is sensitive enough to test infants as young as 14 weeks old. DYOP Inventor Allan Hytowitz and DYOP Vision Associates have developed and patented this groundbreaking new diagnostic tool. Their extensive research proves how the dimensions of the DYOP test far exceed the limited and static Snellen Test, which tends to correct nearsighted vision improperly. Instead, the highly computerized DYOP uses rotating rings and different sized gaps to simply calibrate size, motion, contrast, and color, resulting in more accurate refractive correction.

A great feature is the DYOP APP is designed to work on Apple I-pads and android tablets, as a self-test or administered by Optometrists, Ophthalmologists, and other Health Care Providers. It can cut costs substantially for doctors using expensive and outdated equipment, for patients who can be tested remotely, and even for eye centers around the world that can use the test online.

Living kidney donation is a low-risk procedure, and 95% of donors say they would do it again because the emotional reward of saving a life is unparalleled. Donors often experience an enhanced sense of well-being, with improved quality of life and psychosocial health.
