EVALUATION OF VERNIER ACUITY ASSESSMENT METHODS COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL VISUAL ACUITY TESTING
https://doi.org/10.25881/20728255_2025_20_4_S1_66
Abstract
This study presents a comparative analysis of various visual acuity assessment methods, specifically traditional chart-based tests and contemporary vernier acuity tests. The primary focus is on comparing the obtained results and their practical implications for the diagnosis of potential pathologies. It was determined that vernier acuity methods, despite requiring double the testing time, exhibit increased sensitivity to macular changes. The rationale for the combined utilization of these methods is substantiated.
