A.2 General requirements fo

23、r optotypes A.2.1 Each size of a set of optotypes shall be specified in terms of the size of some critical dimension common to that set of optotypes. In the case of the standard Landolt ring, the critical detail is the gap size. In the case of a set of optotypes where there is no dimension common to

24、 the different members of the set (e.g., optotypes for illiterates), the members of a given acuity grade shall have the same relative dimensions as corresponding members of other acuity grades. The size shall be identified by a specified dimension of one member of the set. NOTE 1 If letters or figur

25、es are used for visual acuity measurement, then it should be acknowledged that these normally show large differences in respect of recognizability, even if their size and thickness of stroke are identical. The disadvantages of their use can be reduced by choosing letters or figures that are comparab

26、le with each other. A.3 Correlation of optotypes A.3.1 Selection of optotypes for correlation testing The optotype sizes (grades) specified in the standard shall be used. Sufficient grades or steps shall be used to establish a frequency of seeing curve for the standard optotype and the optotype bein

27、g investigated. A.3.2 Test area The test area shall be circular with a diameter of 4 0.4. The surrounding field shall have a diameter of 15 1.5 and shall be illuminated homogeneously so that it does not influence the measurement. The luminance of the surrounding field shall not be greater than that

28、of the test area. ANSI Z80.21-2010 (R2015) 7 A.3.3 Presentation of the optotypes In making a measurement of visual acuity with the eight-position Landolt ring, 120 presentations shall be made one ring at a time with the ring positions for successive presentations arranged in random order. The optoty

29、pes to be correlated shall also be presented one at a time in random order until a series of 120 presentations has been completed. In the 120 presentations, the different optotypes in each set shall be represented approximately the same number of times. NOTE 2 The number 120 is divisible by 2, 3, 4,

30、 6, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 60. Hence, with sets of optotypes having any of these numbers of different optotypes, it is possible for each optotype to be represented the same number of times in 120 presentations. The comparison must start with a grade of optotypes large enough to yield a fre

31、quency of seeing of 100%. Measurements shall be made with both eight-position Landolt rings and the optotypes of the same size being correlated. When this has been completed, the procedure must be repeated with smaller and smaller sizes until the failure rate corresponds to the level of guessing of

32、0.125. Each optotype must be exposed for 3 s with an interval of 4 s between exposures. NOTE 3 If possible, the comparison of optotypes should be made by means of binocular measurement. A.3.4 Corrective lenses The observers shall be fully corrected to a visual acuity of 1.0 or better, if correction

33、is necessary. A.3.5 Test distance The test shall be performed at a distance of 5 m 0.05 m between the subject and the optotype. NOTE 4 This test distance is for correlation purposes only. A.3.6 Luminance The luminance of the test area shall be 200 cd/m2 50 cd/m2and shall be the same for the Landolt

34、ring as for the optotypes to be correlated. The difference between the luminances of both test areas shall not exceed 10%. The luminance of the optotypes themselves shall not exceed 10% of the luminance of the test area. A.4 Assignment of an acuity score If, before the end of the test, the observer

35、is no longer able to recognize the test types, the subject shall be requested to make a guess. The subject shall not be informed before the end of the test ANSI Z80.21-2010 (R2015) 8 whether or not any mistakes were made. The number of errors per optotype size shall be recorded. From the raw data. a

36、n allowance for guessing shall be made and the frequency of seeing shall be assessed for each optotype size. NOTE 5 The allowance for guessing is performed by the following equation: )1( pNNpRNE= where E is the number of right answers corrected for guessing; N is the number of presentations; R is th

37、e number of right answers; p is the probability of guessing (p is equal to the reciprocal of the number of different optotypes or directions in the set). For the various grades, the frequency of seeing shall be plotted against the logarithm of the size of the critical details. The points on the grap

38、h for each type of optotype shall be fitted with an ogive curve represented by the integral of the probability curve. NOTE 6 Any of the usual methods of fitting the ogive curve may be used. From the curves, the optotype sizes at which the frequency of seeing is 50% shall be estimated, representing t

39、he thresholds for the Landolt ring optotype and the optotype being correlated. From these thresholds the acuity scores shall be derived. A.5 Assessing the equivalence of two kinds of optotype The measurements described in 3.3 shall be repeated with ten or more observers having uncorrected visual acu

40、ity of 1.0 or better, or the observers shall be fully corrected to a visual acuity of 1.0 or better, if correction is necessary. The threshold values for each kind of optotype shall be averaged. NOTE 7 If the two averages differ by more than 0.05 log units, the two sets of optotypes cannot be said t

41、o be equivalent. They can be made equivalent by enlarging or contracting the size of the non-standard optotypes by a factor equal to the ratio of the visual acuity for the nonstandard optotypes to the visual acuity for the standard optotypes. ANSI Z80.21-2010 (R2015) 9 A.6 Significance of the differ

42、ence between the two averages The meaningfulness of the difference between the two averages can be studied by: a) comparing the overlap of the frequency distributions of the two sets of scores; b) using standard statistical procedures to evaluate the significance of the difference between averages;

43、c) plotting a frequency distribution of the differences between the scores on the separate tests to evaluate the tendency to be high or low on both tests; d) using the method of linear regression.
