“…Since smartphones became widely available around 2007, the mobile app industry has grown significantly. 27 Research has demonstrated that VA apps can produce results comparable to that of printed optotypes in children, 31 and in adults. 32 One of the established VA testing apps is "Peek Acuity," 33 a smartphone vision test which was developed for use in resourcepoor settings.…”

COVID-19 has placed unprecedented pressure on health systems globally, whereas simultaneously stimulating unprecedented levels of transformation. Here, we review digital adoption that has taken place during the pandemic to drive improvements in ophthalmic clinical care, with a specific focus on out-of-hospital triage and services, clinical assessment, patient management, and use of electronic health records. We show that although there have been some successes, shortcomings in technology infrastructure prepandemic became only more apparent and consequential as COVID-19 progressed. Through our review, we emphasize the need for clinicians to better grasp and harness key technology trends such as telecommunications and artificial intelligence, so that they can effectively and safely shape clinical practice using these tools going forward.

“…Current evidence on the effectiveness of VA testing apps is inconclusive. Individual studies have shown that VA apps can produce results comparable to that of printed optotypes in children 4 and in adults 5 . Others, such as the Eye Phone Study, have failed to identify VA apps that can produce VA comparable to that of standard Snellen charts.…”

Purpose: There is a need for a simple and accurate way to assess visual acuity in telemedicine consultations in ophthalmology and other related specialties. Design: We surveyed visual acuity testing apps available that allow patients to measure their own acuity, focusing on freely accessible resources suitable for all resource settings. Methods: A systematic search was performed for visual acuity testing apps on 2 major platforms: Google Play Store (Google, CA, USA) and Apple App Store (Apple, CA, USA). Results: Sixteen apps (67%) tested near vision, 5 apps (21%) tested distance vision, and 3 apps (13%) offered options for both near and distance vision testing. Of the 24 apps, 5 (21%) offered a method of calibration of optotype size. Three apps (13%) demonstrated evidence of clinical validation. Only 3 apps fulfilled our criteria for suitability for clinical practice. Conclusions: We have recommended 3 apps that may be quickly integrated into clinical practice in both ophthalmic and non-ophthalmic all resource settings.
