7. Test your patient’s vision

Have your patient sit or stand 1.5m or 3m away from the iPad/iPhone screen, depend-

ing on your space availability and your chosen Distance Tests.

Hold the screen at the patient’s eye level.

Cover over the Left eye to test the Right eye, or you may first want to practice with

both eyes in order to check that your patient understands what to do.

Ask your patient to name the picture(s) or letter(s).

If your patient can correctly name the picture(s) or letter(s), swipe the screen up to

make them smaller.

Swipe left or right to change the picture or letter while keeping the same size. You will

need to do this more frequently if you are using the single pictures in a box.

If a patient is unable to name the figure(s), swipe down to make them larger.

Keep testing by making the picture(s) or letter(s) smaller, until your patient can no

longer name them all correctly.

It is important to make sure your patient is not able to see through the cover/patch

when testing each eye separately. The eye must be covered completely.

8. Click on the blue checkmark in the lower

right-hand corner and select how many figures

they were able to name correctly at that size

(maximum of 5).

If a patient could not name any figures at that

size, you need to check how many they can

name correctly on the next largest size (by

swiping down).

Put any comments in the notes (e.g. peeped/leaning forward/

struggled).

10. Click on Save test or Discard test.

Please save the test if you wish to recall the results for your

orthoptist/ophthalmologist.

The app will now take you back to this page.

Return to step 4 under ‘Using the App’ in this guide and

follow the instructions to test the other eye.

Click on View Test History to view saved tests and to report

them to the orthoptist/ophthalmologist when required.

Please write down the vision score for the right and left

eyes, as this will be helpful for the eye specialist when you

are reviewed by video call.

If possible, please take a screenshot of your test history. To

do so, press and hold the power button on the right side of

your device while clicking the home button.
