Study Notes
Visual Acuity Development and Limitations
- Axial length at birth: 16-17mm, 1 year old: 20-21mm, Adolescence-Adulthood: 23-25mm
- Expected visual acuity at 1 month old: 20/800 to 20/200, 6-month-old: 20/20
- Various methods for assessing visual acuity in children: Preferential fixation, Preferential looking, Optokinetic drum, Visual Evoked Potential
- Different visual acuity charts and acuity tasks: Detection, Recognition, Resolution, Location, Target Detection
- Age-related decline in visual acuity: On average, people retain 20/20 vision until age 62, after which less than 50% retain it
- Factors affecting visual acuity: Refractive errors, Retinal eccentricity, Luminance, Contrast, Pupil size, Testing distance
- Impact of refractive error on visual acuity: 1D defocus decreases VA from 20/20 to 20/50, hyperopes are less affected due to accommodation
- Influence of retinal eccentricity on visual acuity: Lower acuity away from fovea, with a 60% reduction at 1-degree displacement
- Effect of luminance and contrast on visual acuity: Increasing luminance and contrast generally improve visual acuity
- Testing conditions for visual acuity: Illumination should be optimal, and room lighting in the vicinity of the chart should be low
- Impact of pupil size on visual acuity: Small pupils increase depth of focus, large pupils cause spherical aberrations
- Factors affecting visual acuity including exposure duration, interaction effects, and target and eye movement
