Description

  • This test assesses a child’s functional vision at near distances. Can also be used to familiarize child with testing procedure before introducing a distance test.
  • Proportionally spaced (logMAR) lines on one side and more tightly-spaced symbols on the opposite side. Line sizes range from 20/400 to 20/10 (6/120 to 6/3) equivalent, 0.05 to 2.00. Response key printed on test card. Includes training cards and instructions. Card measures 8″ x 10″ (20.3 cm x 25.4 cm).
TopicDiscription
Purpose / Target UsersThis is a near-vision test card for assessing functional vision in children at near distances, i.e., close (“reading-distance”) vision.
It can also act as a familiarization tool for children before they proceed to distance vision tests.
Target users: pediatric patients (young children) who may not be familiar with letters, so symbolic optotypes (LEA symbols) are used.
Optotypes / SymbolsIt uses LEA symbols (standard optotypes for pediatric vision testing). The sheet includes a response key printed on both sides for reference.
One side has “more tightly-spaced symbols,” presumably to give a finer gradation of acuity.
Scaling / SpacingThe card uses proportionally spaced (logMAR) lines on one side. The opposite side has more tightly spaced symbols (i.e. smaller spacing increments between symbols) to refine acuity steps.
Range of Acuity / Line SizesThe line sizes go from 20/400 to 20/10 (in U.S. notation).
Equivalent metric scale: 6/120 to 6/3
In decimal acuity notation: 0.05 to 2.00
Testing DistanceThe designated testing (viewing) distance is 16 inches (which is ~ 40 cm)
Physical Size & DimensionsThe card’s physical dimensions are 8″ × 10″ (20.3 cm × 25.4 cm)
It includes a cord (i.e. it is a card with a string) presumably so the tester can hold or suspend it at the correct distance.
Mounting / Display FeaturesBecause it is a flat card with cord, it is not a mounted chart or wall chart — it is handheld or suspended via its cord to maintain the 40 cm viewing distance.
No mention of a stand, frame, or illumination. It is likely a non-illuminated printed card.
Included Accessories / ExtrasThe package includes flashcards and instructions.
Also, the answer/response key is printed on both sides of the card.
A guide and answer key (downloadable) are linked on the product page.
Durability / Material QualitiesThe product page does not explicitly detail what materials (lamination, plastic, card stock) are used.
Because it is a clinical visual test card, one can reasonably expect durable card stock or laminated surfaces to withstand repeated use, but that’s not confirmed in the description.
It is CE-approved (i.e. meets relevant European safety / quality standards)
Usability / Marker of QualityStrengths / Useful Features:
The dual arrangement (logMAR on one side, tighter spacing on the other) gives flexibility in testing resolution and incremental acuity steps.
The presence of a response key makes it easier for testing and scoring, especially for children who are guessing or not verbalizing.
Portable size (8 × 10 inches) is manageable for close vision screening in clinics, schools, or outreach settings.
Presence of included instructions and flashcards helps standardize test administration.
The CE mark is a marker of compliance with recognized standards.
Good-Lite Co
The use of LEA symbols is standard in pediatric vision screening (less dependent on letter knowledge).
