Description

Designed for children over the age of 6, parents with young children, and general practitioners, this eye chart app displays optically precise optotypes for accurate distance vision measurement. Early detection of myopia allows you to take preventive action, seek medical advice promptly, and prevent pseudomyopia from worsening into myopia or stop nearsightedness from deteriorating further.

Supported Eye Charts:
1. Snellen, with C, D, E, F, H, K, N, P, R, U V and Z, as defined in BS 4274-1:2003.
2. Tumbling E. Option to have shorter middle arm.
3. Landolt C.
4. ETDRS, with C, D, H, K, N, O, R, S, V, and Z.
5. ETDRS European-wide, with H, K, O, E, P, X, B, T, M and A.
6. HOTV.
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 feet.

Scenarios:
1. Doctor and Patient.
2. Self-diagnosis using a mirror – Stand in front of a mirror with the app in mirror mode, wearing an eye patch over one eye. The effective test distance is twice the distance between you and the mirror.
3. Self-diagnosis using a Bluetooth keyboard – Place the device a few meters away on a table, and use the keyboard arrow keys to indicate what you can read.

Notations:
1. Decimal (0.50)
2. Fraction (20/40)
3. LogMAR (0.30) with LogMAR scoring
4. Fraction (5/10)
5. Fraction (6/12)
6. MAR (2) with LogMAR scoring
7. VAS or VAR (85) with LogMAR scoring

Test Modes:
1. Manual.
2. Auto scoring – Swipe gestures indicate correct or incorrect readings, and the app calculates scores. Enable "Record Scores" in Settings to track visual acuity progression, with support for multiple test subjects.

According to “Visual Acuity Testing for Telehealth Using Mobile Applications,” published in JAMA Ophthalmology on https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7809609/, this app (formerly known as Visual Acuity Charts) demonstrated the highest accuracy among 10 iPhone-based visual acuity chart applications.

Myopia detection involves several steps, with distance visual acuity testing often being the first. A decline in visual acuity may indicate the onset of myopia, enabling early intervention.

Disclaimer:
While this app may replace printed eye charts, it CANNOT replace doctors or optometrists who perform comprehensive eye exams essential for maintaining eye health. The app does not test for strabismus, esotropia, exotropia, hyperopia, or astigmatism—common early vision conditions. Please consult an optometrist regularly and seek professional medical advice at the first signs of visual acuity issues.

What’s New

Version 3.4

1. Most built-in help contents are refined.
2. When the visual acuity notation is LogMAR, MAR or VAS, the scoring of the assessment is LogMAR Scoring.

Profiting off of a virus

App was free a few days ago now patients have to pay because they need it because of covid19
Pretty bad and lacking human decency

Developer Response ,

There had been a 1 week promotion during which the purchase price was zero. App Store does NOT allow a free app to become a paid app, and this app has been a paid app. And you may request a refund from App Store.

Shame on you for profiteering during COVID pandemic!

Profiteering during this crisis when people and companies should be trying to help is unconscionable. Many families are unemployed due to the COVID pandemic and cannot afford to spend valuable resources on an app at this time. Be part of the solution, not the problem at this difficult time. Shame on you! This app was free until just a few days ago. During this COVID crisis, most eye care providers are resorting to telemedicine to monitor patients who need to be followed. This app is useful for visual acuity testing, especially in children, since it includes the Lea and HOTV charts and could be very helpful in the setting of telemedicine. It had been a free app until just a few days ago, when all of a sudden, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a $4.99 fee was charged. This fee should be removed or at least waived at this time—just as quickly as it was added!

Better than Snellen chart on paper

I have been wondering how come the top row of the Snellen chart could be suitable for both 20 feet and 6 meters, as marked in paper base Snellen charts, since 20 feet is 6.096 meters. This app actually gives slightly larger optotype for a 20 feet distance than for a 6 meters distance.

The UI design is mobile friendly. The hint is brief, so it took me some fail and try to figure out how to use. After all, intuitive and smooth.
