Measurement considerations

Visual acuity altitude involves added than getting able to see the optotypes. The accommodating should be cooperative, accept the optotypes, be able to acquaint with the physician, and abounding added factors. If any of these factors is missing, again the altitude will not represent the patient's absolute beheld acuity.

Visual acuity is a abstract analysis acceptation that if the accommodating is afraid or clumsy to cooperate, the analysis cannot be done. A accommodating getting sleepy, intoxicated, or accepting any ache that can adapt the patient's alertness or his brainy cachet can accomplish the abstinent beheld acuity worse than it in fact is.

Illiterate patients who cannot apprehend belletrist and/or numbers will be registered as accepting actual low beheld acuity if this is not known. Some of the patients will not acquaint the physician that they don't apperceive the optotypes unless asked anon about it. Brain accident can aftereffect in a accommodating not getting able to admit printed letters, or getting clumsy to spell them.

A motor disability can accomplish a being acknowledge afield to the optotype apparent and abnormally affect the beheld acuity measurement.

Variables such as adherent size, accomplishments adjustment luminance, continuance of presentation, blazon of optotype used, alternation furnishings from adjoining beheld contours (or “crowding") can all affect beheld acuity measurement.
