Objective Visual Acuity Measurement Using Suppression of the Optokinetic Nystagmus (OKN).

Completed
Conditions
Visual Acuity
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Visual acuity testing with SW , Landolt-"C" and Tumbling-"E" symbols
Registration Number
NCT04642495
Lead Sponsor
University of Basel
Brief Summary

Suppression of the optokinetic nystagmus when a target is perceived can be applied to assess visual acuity objectively. Our aim is to establish prediction intervals for this optokinetic nystagmus suppression test (Speedwheel Test, SW) so that SW acuity may be used to estimate Snellen acuity (FrACT- C and -E) in the clinic in adults and children unable to cooperate in other acuity testing.

Detailed Description

In this prospective single center study subjects aged at least 4 years underwent testing of visual acuity with SW, Landolt-C and Tumbling-E symbols (Freiburg acuity test: FrACT-C, FrACT-E). Prediction intervals are to be established for SW compared to FrACT-C or -E and for FrACT- E compared to FrACT-C.
