26、of optotypes used for measurement of visual acuity in general clinical practice. These characteristics include size specification, luminance, contrast, and resolution of the optotypes. It applies to displays intended for measurement of visual acuity over a limited, but clinically useful, range of ac

27、uities.The principles of standardized visual acuity measurement, including the arrangement of optotypes on the display, are presented in standards adopted by the National Academy of Sciences in the United States of America and the Consilium Ophthalmologicum Universal as referenced in the Bibliograph

28、y. This International Standard is not intended to address these principles, but they are included in an annex in ISO 8596.Due to practical design considerations and physical limitations of most general-purpose clinical visual acuity measurement systems, the chart design features specified in the ref

29、erence standards can usually be met for only a limited range of acuity presentations. Other chart display designs are often required for special clinic visual acuity measurements, such as for low-vision patients or for research purposes.

35、stance at which visual acuity is tested, commonly in metres or feet, and the denominator being the distance at which the critical detail (3.9) (limbs of the optotype) within the optotype subtends 1 of arcEXAMPLE A 6/6 letter has limbs that subtend 1 of arc at 6 m.Note 1 to entry: For projected chart

36、s and electronic acuity displays, it is common to calibrate the size of the optotype to subtend the desired minutes of arc at test distances other than 6 m. For example, for a short 4 m room, the letter equivalent in angular subtense to the 6/6 letter is 2/3 the size of a true 6/6 letter. However, s

37、uch a reduced letter is still labelled as 6/6. In this convention, the label 6/6 implies the limbs of the letter subtend 1 of arc at the reduced test distance.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10938:2016(E) ISO 2016 All rights reserved 1BS EN ISO 10938:2016ISO 10938:2016(E)3.4decimal acuityreciprocal of th

41、4.1 Optotypes4.1.1 Size of optotypesEach size of a set of optotypes shall be specified in terms of the size of critical detail common to that set of optotypes. For example, for the Landolt ring, the critical detail is the gap. The permissible deviation is 5 %.NOTE 1 If letters or figures are used fo

42、r visual acuity measurement, then it should be acknowledged that these normally show large differences in legibility, even if the size and width of stroke are identical. The impact of this variability can be reduced by choosing letters or figures that are comparable to one another. Comparability can

43、 be established for each letter or figure by showing that its effective resolution is equivalent to that of the standard optotype in a direct comparative test.NOTE 2 See ISO/TR 19498 for description of a method for the correlation of optotypes.4.1.2 Luminance of backgroundThe luminance of the backgr

44、ound surrounding the optotype, as viewed by the patient, shall be between 80 cd/m2and 320 cd/m2and shall be specified by the manufacturer.NOTE 1 The recommended luminance is 200 cd/m2.The luminance of the background within two character diameters of the optotype shall not vary by more than 30 %. Acr

45、oss the entire area of the illuminated field, it shall not vary by more than 50 %.NOTE 2 See Clause 6 e) for ambient illumination requirements needed to ensure compliance with background luminance specifications.2 ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 10938:2016ISO 10938:2016(E)4.1.3 Contrast of opt

46、otypesOptotypes shall be specified by the background luminance in cd/m2and by the luminance of the optotype as a percentage of the background luminance. The luminance of the optotype shall be not more than 15 % of the luminance of the background upon which the optotype is located. Optypes in a serie

47、s shall not differ noticeably in contrast.4.1.4 Quality of presentationOptotypes as presented shall appear with sharply defined contours to an observer with a binocular visual acuity of 1,0 to 1,25 at an observation distance of 1/3 of the distance at which the optotypes are designed to be used. Simi

48、lar optotypes in a size series shall not differ noticeably in shape or edge sharpness.For electronic displays, if anti-aliasing (i.e. modifying the brightness of pixels at the borders of optotypes) is used to smooth the naturally occurring jagged edge formed by pixels at curved edges, it shall not c

49、ause a change in the perceived size of the optotype outside of the 5 % variability in optotype size allowed by ISO 8596. Furthermore, there shall be no performance difference between the electronically displayed optotype and a printed display of standard optotypes that meets the requirements of ISO 8596.NOTE Anti-aliasing may add or subtract from the width of the detail and may change the calibration.Optotypes presented in displays for which the design prevents viewing at 1/3 the normal distance shall be observed with a magnificatio
