Abstract: A smart device may assist a user in aligning an otoscope of an otoscope clip device with a camera of the smart device. A model identification may be determined. The model identification may indicate a model associated with the smart device. An alignment image may be determined using the model identification. The alignment image may be displayed on the display of the smart device.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system that may be incorporated into currently available electronic devices such as laptops, cell-phones and tablets, that help the user to maintain a viewing distance that is safe for the eyes. In order to avoid near-point stress on the eyes which may lead to the onset of myopia and/or accelerate the progression of myopia, especially in children or young adults, the system of the present invention monitors viewing distance and automatically distorts the image and/or text display into a format that is unreadable, for example, through blurring or pixilation, when the device is too close to the viewer. Alternatively, the system may automatically turn off the display when the device is too close and turn the display on when the device is at the proper viewing distance.
