Details

• Description:
  This report presents the findings from a research study of visual acuity testing conducted by the Pennsylvania State College of Optometry under contract with the U.S. National Health Survey.
  
  The purpose of the study was:
  
  1. to determine the comparability between
  
  the test results that might be expected
  
  from the two American Optical Company
  
  Sight-Screener instruments used in the
  
  first cycle of the Health Examination
  
  Survey, and
  
  2. to obtain information on the comparability of results from the Sight-Screener instruments and an improved Snellen-type test on a population whose visual acuity was no better than that which
  
  might be expected in the general adult
  
  population reached through the first
  
  cycle of the Health Examination Survey.
