Visual acuity testing in young children

Abstract

In a comparative study of visual acuity tests for use in young children, it was found that the Stycar test gave the best results, while the single E test and the Ffooks test both gave good results. The Hand test and the E chart were intermediate, while Snellen's test type, Landolt broken ring, and Clement Clarke picture cards gave veiy poor results and must be considered unsuitable for young children.
