Description

Check and track distance vision to find early sign or progression of myopia.

Prevention is better than cure. Designed for children older than 6, parents with young children, and general practitioners, this eyechart app displays optically precise optotypes of eye charts for you to measure distance vision accurately in order to detect 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, 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. 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 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.


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 on https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7809609/ indicates Visual Acuity Charts is the most accurate among 10 apps on iPhones being tested.

Checking for myopia takes several procedures and the first step is often to test 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 CANNOT replace doctors and optometrists who carry out comprehensive eye exam for your basic eye health. The eye chart app does not test strabismus, esotropia, exotropia, hyperopia and astigmatism and which are common early vision conditions. Please visit optometrists regularly and seek help from medical professional at early signs of visual acuity problems.

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.

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!

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.

Decent design for smart phone users

I tried a few eye chart apps however, most are just replicates of paper based eye charts. This one utilizes advantages of iPhone, delivering pretty user experiences while maintaining accuracy of detecting near-sightedness.
