EYE TESTS IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, 2016
me&him&you and Kate Coleman (IE)
In association with renowned eye surgeon Kate Coleman, me&him&you present a contemporary take on the eye test. The aim is to illustrate Kate’s vision to 'democratise' eye care, making vision testing possible across the world in, quite literally, 'the blink of an eye'. Visitors will be able to test their own eyesight using two machines from optical equipment supplier, Topcon — an Automatic Refractor and a Non-Mydriatic Fundus Camera — while learning about the latest advancements in digital eye testing.
me&him&you have also worked with Kate to present a contemporary take on the classic colour blindness test in the Science Gallery Café, drawing on abstract expressionism and colours of the rainbow to explore the spectrum of light in a two-dimensional piece.
This exhibit was made possible through support from CAP Advisers Ltd, Colombus Circle Investments, Inkspo, Kinsale Capital Investment, Ocuco, Ovelle and Topcon.
