The Dyop® Professional Visual Acuity/Refraction Test is intended to be a faster and more precise replacement for the Snellen, Sloan, and Landolt tests for determining both visual acuity and refraction end-points. The simplest method for using the Dyop® test at a virtual 20 foot viewing distance is to utilize a mirror 9 feet in front of the patient displaying Dyop® images which are reflections of the images on a monitor situated 2 feet behind the patient thus creating a virtual 20 foot Viewing Distance.

The Dyop® Professional Visual Acuity Test is calibrated for use on virtually any computer monitor or a 10 inch computer tablet. The image sizes can also be further adjusted for your specific monitor size.

The tests are intended to be viewed at a (virtual) viewing distance of 20 feet. They can be customized to meet the specific needs or actual viewing distance as used by the eye care professional. The instructions are currently available only in English, but the test image optotypes do NOT require literacy, or even verbal ability, but rather only the ability to indicate the detection of rotation. (The specific direction of rotation as to clockwise or counter-clockwise is also irrelevant.)

Use the mouse scroll wheel to increase or decrease the Dyop® image angular diameter. Selecting the smallest Dyop® image detected as rotating will immediately determine acuity. When the sphere or cylinder lenses are over or under minused, or when the axis vector is misaligned, that non-optimum setting will increase the angular diameter of the smallest detectable rotating Dyop® image. Dyop® images that are only “twinkling” are NOT rotating.
