Lenskart Uses AI for Eye Tests Amid Optometrist Shortage

Lenskart, a big eyewear company in India, is using AI to help with eye tests.

They don't have enough optometrists, so they are using special technology to let optometrists do eye tests from far away.

This way, one optometrist can do many more tests than before.

They have done over 9 million eye tests in just half a year, and it takes less time to get an eye test now.

But some experts are worried that using too much technology might not be as good as having a real optometrist, especially for complicated cases.

Also, there aren't enough trained optometrists, and the ones who are working don't earn much money.

The company is trying to fix these problems by using AI, but some people think it's not a perfect solution.
