45
Q

What is the test distance and cardiff of PL?

A

o Test Distance: 40 cm

46
Q

What is the procedure for PL?

A
  • A gross target is presented first
  • Cards are presented (unseen by the optom)
  • Optom watches the infant through the peephole
  • A judgement must be made by the optom if child is fixating to right or left/up or down (force-choice)
  • VA is estimated as the highest spatial frequency (finest grating) the child was able to see.
