Visual acuity is a measure of the ability of our eye to perceive details. Visual acuity can be measured in two ways static visual acuity and dynamic visual acuity.
Static visual acuity refers to our ability to see small details from a stationary point of view and it is often considered to be the standard definition when people refer to visual acuity. It is commonly used to diagnose problems that the patient might face with vision.
Dynamic visual acuity is our eye’s ability to perceive small details when either we are in motion or the object is in motion, or a combination of both.
It is possible to test the patient’s DVA in several ways from basic methods to using advance devices that measure DVA using the latest technology. In this blog, we’re going to take a look at what a DVA test is, why it is used, and how it works.
