To provide this training, ophthalmologists must be familiar with the principles and the means of preschool vision testing. The factors involved in visual acuity determination in children have been considered elsewhere. 3 Other things being equal, the success obtained in the use of any test will depend upon the examiner’s understanding of the importance of the test and the factors involved in its administration.
