What is Visual acuity?
The resolving power of the eye used to assess and quantify the eye’s ability to resolve varying letter sizes.
Visual acuity is a measurement of central vision only.
Assessment of total visual system from cornea to occipital cortex.
Visual acuity can be tested for both distance and near vision.
Distance visual acuity is the most common test.

Why need a visual acuity test?
• Diagnostic toolBaseline dataMeasures progression of diseaseEvaluates treatmentTo measure the patient’s progress visual
acuity must be assessed at every presentation.

Patient Requirements
Patient’s co-operationPatient’s comprehension of what is
requiredAbility to recognise images used on the
various charts (letters, numbers or pictures)
Distance correction (glasses or contact lenses)

Standard Test Distances
Distance visual acuity (DVA) 20ft or 6M is equivalent to optical infinity
Near visual acuity (NVA) 40cm

Near Visual Acuity
Testing the VA at close range (usually 40cm)
The purpose is to detect people with near vision difficulties (e.g., uncorrected high hyperopia, accommodative dysfunction)
In patients over 40 years old, the reduced near visual acuity is one of the symptoms of presbyopia

The visual acuity categorized (10th Revision of the WHO International Statistical Classification of Diseases). 1 Good vision = 6/6 to 6/18. 2 Low vision = 6/24 to 3/60 (CF3m). 3 Blind = 3/60 (CF3m) to PL (perception of light). 4 Blind to light - NPL (no perception of light).
Legal blindness is defined as visual acuity (vision) of 20/200 (6/60) or less in the better eye with best correction possible.
In many areas, people with average acuity who nonetheless have a visual field of less than 10 degrees (the normal being 180 degrees) are also classified as being legally blind.
