Eye health integrated management system and method {SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CARING INTEGRATED EYE HEALTH}

The present invention relates to an integrated eye health management system and method, and more specifically, to an integrated eye health management system and method that can manage eye health comprehensively by matching a user with an ophthalmologist and an optician.

Although all parts of the body are important, eye health was found to be the top health issue of concern in the aging society. In modern society, not only is the population aging, but the number of people with eye health problems is increasing due to prolonged use of computers and smartphones.

The majority of young people, such as teenagers and college students, live their lives without being aware of the importance of vision care, and about 55%, or about half of the entire population, wear glasses. This is an average increase of about 10% compared to 10 years ago. In addition, the diversification of media is putting strain on the eyes, and social costs are increasing as social and economic activities are disrupted due to deteriorating eyesight.

Looking at the current eye care situation, people with poor eyesight regularly visit an ophthalmologist or optician, but people with some level of vision maintain a certain level of vision and visit an ophthalmologist when they experience eye abnormalities or feel discomfort. You will receive a health diagnosis. At this time, most people only visit an ophthalmologist when they experience eye pain or experience a lot of discomfort in their daily lives.

Likewise, if you do not take care of your eyes at all and visit an ophthalmologist when eye pain occurs, you may be exposed to a serious disease. Therefore, there is a need for daily eye care regardless of vision.
