## What is vision Pad?

VisionPad is a software that turns the iPad into a visual acuity measurement tool and a  complete platform for vision function testing.

  It makes it simple and accurate to run a wide range of visual tests, displaying optotypes — letters, numbers, and symbols — directly on the iPad screen. Testing distance is configurable from 40 cm to 5 meters.

  Available tests:
  - Distance and near visual acuity (letters, numbers, symbols, Snellen E)
  - Contrast sensitivity
  - Mesopic and twilight vision
  - Glare sensitivity and recovery time
  - Lens performance evaluation
  - Low vision tests: reading speed and eccentric fixation localization

  Patient management:
  VisionPad includes a built-in patient archive with full visit records: refraction, visual acuity, tonometry, clinical notes, and over-time
  progress charts.

  Rehabilitation exercises:
  Visual exercises can be prescribed and transferred to the VisionHT app via Bluetooth or QR code. Results sync automatically at the
  end of each session.

  Remote control:
  The VisionRemote iPhone app lets the operator control VisionPad from a distance.

### 3.3.2 — 2026-07-13

Contrast sensitivity — The "change set" button now works correctly with letters and numbers too: previously it only changed the pictures and E

Fixes and improvements
- Reading speed test: results table fixed. Empty rows no longer appear in the standard test and, in REX mode, the first row (highest contrast) is now shown.

### 3.3.0 — 2026-06-28

- Preview on the remote: during tests, VisionPad sends VisionRemote a schematic preview of the projected optotype (letters, numbers, pictures, E) and the reading-speed sentence.

- Various fixes.
