The Cardiff Acuity Test is designed especially for the hard-to-test age group, 12 months to 3 years. It
uses familiar pictures and a procedure in the form of a game to attract and keep the attention of young
children. However, the test does not require the child to be able to name or even to recognise the
pictures. Instead, it relies on the technique of ‘preferential looking’ – that is, the observer simply notes
the child’s eye movements in order to determine whether he or she can see the picture.
This means that that the test can be used irrespective of a child’s developmental stage, making it ideal
for testing children and adults with intellectual disabilities. The Cardiff Acuity test was developed by
Dr. J. Margaret Woodhouse, at the School of Optometry and Vision Sciences, Cardiff University, UK.
It has been rigorously validated, and is now recommended by leading paediatric vision consultants
worldwide.
The Cardiff Acuity Test has been recently re-launched, and is now available in two versions. The
standard version covers a range of visual acuity levels from 6/48 and 6/96 to 6/3.75 and 6/7.5 (at
working distances of 1 metre and 50 cm).
