Feasibility study shows tablet-based screening tools reliably assess visual acuity and stereovision in older adults, suggesting practical use in clinical settings.

Key Points

This study aims to validate a tablet-based application for assessing visual acuity and stereovision in adults over 60 compared to clinical standards.
Conducted a non-blinded, cross-sectional feasibility study with 24 older adults in a test–retest cohort and 135 in a clinical cohort.
Measured visual acuity using a tablet-based Landolt C test and an ETDRS-style chart.
Assessed stereovision with tablet-based random dot stereograms compared to the TNO stereotest.
Evaluated agreement and reliability using Bland–Altman analysis and intraclass correlation coefficients.
The tablet-based method for visual acuity demonstrated good test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.79).
Mean bias for visual acuity between the index and reference methods was within clinically acceptable limits (0.022 logMAR).
The index method for stereovision showed high test-retest agreement and good diagnostic accuracy (AUC 0.87 for static and 0.85 for dynamic stimuli).
