Visual Vertical makes high-grade subjective visual vertical (SVV) testing accessible to every practitioner — no expensive equipment required. SVV testing is a sensitive, validated measure for brainstem lesions and otolithic dysfunction, widely used in neurology and vestibular rehabilitation. Until now, accurate testing required bulky, costly apparatus. Visual Vertical changes that: all you need is your iPhone, a bucket, and a small piece of Blu Tack. How it works Mount your iPhone inside the bottom of a bucket using Blu Tack. The patient holds the bucket to their face and adjusts a line on screen until it appears vertical to them. The app records the deviation and calculates your result — accurate readings in minutes, at a fraction of the traditional cost. What you can measure - Left eye, right eye, or both eyes open - Single readings or full sequences across all conditions - One or three readings per condition, with automatic averaging Clean, minimal results screens make it easy to record and communicate findings.
Celego Near Vision Test
Read full descriptionHide full description
Celego is a new, innovative, self-test for rapid self-assessment and monitoring of vision at a reading distance. Cultural and learning problems associated with traditional printed tests are avoided by presenting ever-new combinations of letters and digits. Using voice recording and playback the user self-scores results: no outside supervision is needed. The test depends on the fact that the time needed to read a text depends on its font size. Celego measures the smallest size that allows accurate reading within a fixed time. Test results are stored internally. Once a baseline has been set, repetition allows monitoring of change over time.
