Development and Validation of a Smartphone-Based Visual Acuity Test (Vision at Home).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe the development and validation of a smartphone-based visual acuity (VA) test called Vision at home (V@home).

Methods

Three study populations (elderly Chinese, adolescent Chinese, and Australian groups) underwent distance and near VA testing using standard Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts and the V@home device; all VA tests used tumbling E optotypes. VA tests were repeated with one eye, selected randomly. Distance VA was measured monocularly at 2 m, and near VA was measured binocularly at 40 cm. Participants also completed a questionnaire about their satisfaction with the device. V@home VA (logMAR) was compared to VA for ETDRS charts at distance and near and test-retest reliability.

Results

The mean difference between V@home
