PRODUCT PROFILE

ABCD Acuity Test Flip Book

Adapting the state-of-the-art principles for acuity testing, ABCD (Alaska Blind Child Discovery) has suggested a modification of Wendy Marsh-Tootle’s Surround HOTV 10-foot test card.

ABCD Acuity Test Flip Book is the Swiss Army Knife of vision tests. The ABCD HOTV card presents 4 optotypes down to 20/16 range.

The matching card has surround letters to avoid confusion, it also has a “spectacle-delineated” pinhole enhancement and an HOTV near card that resembles Paul Runge’s near system but is adapted to just 10-inches- found to more approximate a child’s lap-reading distance. The 10-foot distance and 10-inch near are quickly demarcated by detachable strings. Age-appropriate screening cut-offs are quickly located by off-set tabs.
