Excerpt from [Verizon Wireless](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZHv0bjXpZA&list=UUNe2bEwZk5Jvn6wK7kToR0g) -- "In Episode 8, we meet Yaopeng Zhou and Marc Albanese, co-founders of Smart Vision Labs, who created a portable vision examination device that works with a smartphone, called an autorefractor. It's a critical innovation for places like Rwanda where there are 10.5 million people and only 14 vision care providers. Now, by taking just a single picture, prescriptions and glasses can be handed out on the spot to people in need, bringing vision testing to places where it currently doesn't exist."
