Visual Acuity app review: enhance your vision

Introduction

Whether you suffer from impaired vision or you’re just looking to improve your current acuity, Visual Acuity for iPhone and iPad uses a modern logMAR method to help you test the condition of your eyesight with the goal of hopefully improving it through consistent practice.

This is a great idea for an app, and one that has clearly had a lot of thought put into it, especially in terms of providing a modern approach to visual acuity testing and enhancement. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you’re looking out for a utility of this kind.

Access Your logMAR Score

What we have here is a very cool app that includes eye charts which can be used to improve your visual acuity over time. The charts are based on the the modernized logMAR method that is replacing the arguably outdated Snellen chart.

What’s more, all of the eye charts are fully randomized to ensure your memory doesn’t take over, and you can also come up with your own logMAR score to use for your calculations and statistics where required.

Supports Different Optotypes

Visual Acuity includes special font styles for different optotypes like Landolt C, Tumbling E, Sloan, HOVT, and Lea so that all of the character lines are of equal thickness, and you can also view letters and characters in a variety of assorted sizes and from different distances.

You’ll also be able to see your historical test scores so that you can improve on them over time, plus your test scores can be shared with your optician or friends online via email; this is also useful if you want to back them up on your computer.
