Summary

This study aims to compare a home vision self-assessment test to office-based Snellen visual acuity in myopic children.


Eligibility

Max Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria3

  • Age ≤ 18 years.
  • Both sexes.
  • Patients who completed the home visual acuity test and have a subsequent office-based visual acuity test.

Exclusion Criteria6

  • Last in-office visual acuity of 20/125 or worse in both eyes (to allow for a buffer of at least 2 lines of vision from the upper limit of 20/200 on the home vision assessment).
  • Lack of access to MyChart.
  • History of keratopathy, cataract, glaucoma, retinal detachment, neuro-ophthalmic disease, or other eye diseases.
  • History of ophthalmic surgery or trauma.

Interventions

OTHERSnellen chart

Patients will be asked to use the 5 feet distance for standardization, which allows for visual acuity assessment from 20/16 to 20/200. Patients will be asked to wear their current corrective lens for distance, to take the test at home in a place with good lighting and to test each eye separately. Office-based vision testing will be performed by a trained ophthalmic technician in a dimmed room with the Snellen chart illuminated on a screen. Patients will be asked to wear their current corrective lens for distance and an eye occluder will be used to test each eye separately.
