What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating how well the Acuvera Capture app compares to traditional paper methods for recording Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) in eye health clinical trials. BCVA is a key measure used to assess vision function and treatment effects in various eye diseases. This study aims to see if the electronic system matches or improves upon paper-based recording in accuracy, consistency, and error reduction to support its use in clinical research. Participants will have their BCVA tested during a single visit using both paper and the Acuvera Capture app. The order of testing will be randomized to reduce bias. The study includes three groups based on vision levels: normal or near-normal vision, mid-range vision, and low vision including very poor sight. Data from paper forms will be entered into electronic case report forms, while the electronic app data will be exported directly. During the visit, participants undergo BCVA testing with both recording methods. Researchers will compare the agreement between the two data sets, evaluate discrepancies and errors, assess efficiency, and gather user feedback. The study involves 90 adults and aims to complete within two months. The main measurement is the difference in BCVA scores recorded by the two methods during the same visit.

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Adults 18 years old or older
- Able and willing to provide written informed consent
- Capable of performing BCVA testing according to study requirements
- All BCVA ranges eligible, including off-chart acuities such as count fingers, hand motion, or light perception
You will not qualify if you...
- Any condition preventing reliable completion of BCVA testing, such as severe cognitive impairment or language barriers
- Inability or unwillingness to comply with study requirements
- Non-ophthalmic condition that precludes safe or reliable testing, for example, immediate post-operative systemic status
- Any circumstance deemed by the investigator to make the participant or eye unsuitable for accurate BCVA testing or completing both data-capture methods during the same visit
