To perform the static visual acuity test, we position the patient one meter and a half (1.5 m) away from the computer screen.
  • Page 16 PROCESS OF EXAMINATION– VISUAL ACUITY PART The examination begins When the software shows the following screen with a white dot in the center where the Landolt C optotype will appear. The doctor gives an indication to the patient to look at the white point until the optotype appears. Once the optotype has appeared the patient will indicate which of the 8 possible orientations, which then appear on the screen, he has seen.

If the movement was too slow or too fast compared to the range 3000 - 6000 a warning box will be displayed at the center. If the movement has been carried out from 0 to 7999 deg/s it will still appear in the histogram.
  • Page 23 The movements that are too fast or too slow also also appear in the counting histograms, yet these will be shown in gray bars, while the exact movements ones are blue for the left side, and red for the right side .
