Can children measure their own vision? A comparison of three new contrast sensitivity tests

Purpose To investigate the feasibility of children measuring their own contrast sensitivity using a range of tablet‐ and paper‐based tests. Methods Forty children aged 5–15 years with amblyopia (N = 10), bilateral vision impairment (N = 10) or good vision (N = 20) measured their own vision on a scre...

Description
Summary:Purpose To investigate the feasibility of children measuring their own contrast sensitivity using a range of tablet‐ and paper‐based tests. Methods Forty children aged 5–15 years with amblyopia (N = 10), bilateral vision impairment (N = 10) or good vision (N = 20) measured their own vision on a screen‐based optotype test (Manifold), a gamified vision test (PopCSF) and a paper‐based test (Spotchecks) in a laboratory with minimal supervision. Completion rate, test–retest repeatability, test duration and participants' preferences were recorded for each test. Results Most participants (36/40) were able to perform all three tests. All tests were correlated with clinically measured visual acuity and contrast sensitivity (p
