In this webcast, a continuation of Visual Acuity Testing: History of Preferential Looking and Early Testing, Dr. Mayer of the New England Eye Institute at Perkins discusses how she came to Children’s Hospital in Boston to work on the measurement of visual acuity in babies using the FPL and OPL techniques she had been involved in researching.
Over time, these procedures developed into ACP, the Acuity Card Procedure, in which easy-to-use cards with stripes of different widths were shown to be very reliable in quickly and easily testing the visual acuity of babies as well as people with disabilities who are not able to respond to typical vision testing.
