[The random dot test as a screening method for the visual acuity in children (author's transl)]. 1978

P van Laer, and K Blum, and P Niesel

The Random Dot Test was used for a screening of the visual acuity of children of 6 to 10 years of age. The testing time is reduced by 50% as compared with the examination by means of illiterate E images on cardboard charts. Children with refractive errors of up to 3 delta but normal visual acuity after correction are not detected at the examination distance of 1.30 m used in this study. None out of 672 children with severe eye diseases gave false negative results with the Random Dot Test. Disturbances of the binocular vision could also be detected with the Random Dot Test.

D014787 Vision Tests A series of tests used to assess various functions of the eyes. Test, Vision,Tests, Vision,Vision Test
D014792 Visual Acuity Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast. Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
