Article Synopsis
- Amblyopia is a significant public health issue that requires effective visual acuity assessments, but many smartphone apps lack scientific validation for medical use.
- A study involving 100 children aged 3 to 8 compared the eMOVA test, a tablet-based assessment, to a conventional test (Rossano-Weiss test) to evaluate its effectiveness and usability.
- Although the eMOVA test slightly overestimated visual acuity, it was well-received by children and parents, proving to be a reliable and convenient tool for pediatric eye examinations in hospital settings.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to validate a touchpad visual acuity test for children by comparing it to traditional tests, using a cohort of 101 pediatric patients aged 3 to 10 in Strasbourg, France.
- - Results showed strong correlations between the touchpad app and standard tests for monocular and binocular vision, with low measurement errors and no significant differences in results.
- - The touchpad application proved to be an effective tool for screening visual impairments in children, demonstrating good sensitivity (92%) and specificity (80%) for identifying amblyopia.
