दृश्य तीक्ष्णता चार्ट

मायोपिया के लक्षण का पता लगाने के लिए दूर की दृश्य तीक्ष्णता का परीक्षण करें।

Prevention is better than cure. Designed for children older than 6, parents with young children, and general practitioners, this app displays optically precise optotypes of eye charts for you to measure distant visual acuity accurately in order to detect nearsightedness or myopia early, so you can take preventive measures and seek help from medical professional early to prevent pseudomyopia from progressing to myopia, or prevent nearsightedness from getting worse.

Supported Eye Charts:

1. Snellen Chart, with C, D, E, F, H, K, N, P, R, U V and Z, as defined in BS 4274-1:2003

2. Tumbling E Chart. Option to have shorter middle arm.

3. Landolt C Chart

4. ETDRS Chart, with C, D, H, K, N, O, R, S, V, and Z

5. HOTV Chart

6. ETDRS European-wide Chart, with H, K, O, E, P, X, B, T, M and A

7. Numbers

8. Shapes

Test Distances:

* 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2 meters predefined

* 20, 15, 12, 10, 6 feet predefined

* Custom distance 0.5 - 30 meters, or 1.6 - 98 ft

Scenarios:

1. "Doctor" and "Patient".

2. Self-diagnosis with a mirror. With one eye covered by an eye patch and holding the device near the shoulder, you stand in front of a typical bathroom mirror using the mirror mode of the app and having the device's screen facing the mirror. The actual test distance is 2 times of the distance between you and the mirror.

3. Self-diagnosis with a Bluetooth keyboard. After putting the device standing a few meters away on a table, you use the keyboard's direction keys to indicate what your read.

4. Self-diagnosis within arm's reach.

Notations：

1. Decimal (0.50)

2. Fraction (20/40)

3. LogMAR (0.30)

4. Fraction (5/10)

5. Fraction (6/12)

6. MAR (2)

7. VAS or VAR (85)

Test Modes:

1. Manual.

2. Auto scoring

In Auto scoring, you use the swiping gestures to indicate correct readings or wrong readings, and the app calculates the score.

Through enabling “Record Scores” in Settings, you can keep track of the progression of your visual acuity. Visual acuity scores of multiple testees could be recorded.

“Visual Acuity Testing for Telehealth Using Mobile Applications” published in JAMA Ophthalmology @ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7809609/ indicates Visual Acuity Charts is the most accurate among 10 apps on iPhones being tested.

Testing for myopia takes several procedures and the first step is often to check distant visual acuity through a visual acuity chart. And the decrement of visual acuity may indicate the development of myopia.

Disclaimer:

While this app may replace eye charts in print, however it CAN NOT replace doctors and optometrists who carry out comprehensive tests for your eyes. Please visit optometrists regularly and seek help from medical professional at early signs of visual acuity problems.
