Evaluating the precision of an online visual acuity test tool.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the precision of a web-based tool in measuring visual acuity (VA) in ophthalmic patients, comparing it to the traditional in-clinic evaluation using a Snellen chart, considered the gold standard.

Methods: We conducted a prospective and in-clinic validation comparing the Eyecare Visual Acuity Test® to the standard Snellen chart, with patients undergoing both tests sequentially. Patients wore their standard spectacles as needed for both tests.

Dorsally exophytic glioblastoma of the pons.

Brainstem gliomas are rare tumours in adults, accounting for only 1%-2% of all intracranial gliomas. They are recognised as a heterogeneous group, in which most are malignant tumours. Brainstem gliomas are classified into four major groups according to the growth pattern on imaging, namely diffuse, focal, exophytic and cervicomedullary.
