    Is there a way to get the program?

    It sounds to me like is still being developed and in experimental stages. I suppose you could write to Nottingham University (in England) to find more about the study and if they are looking for more participants; when the technology is expected to be ready for release; and whether it will be released to the general public, or only to optometrists or ophthalmologists, etc.

    If you find out more, plesas leave a comment here.
