    Sechenov First Medical University

    Vernier visual acuity (WHO) is an important indicator reflecting a person’s ability to distinguish small displacements of objects and plays a key role in clinical practice. It is used to diagnose and monitor various eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and cataracts.

    The article discusses WHO measurement methods, including simple line discrimination tests, more modern computerized tests and laboratory techniques. Factors affecting the WHO level, such as age, lighting conditions and the condition of other body systems, are also discussed. Vernier visual acuity provides valuable information about the state of the visual system and interactions in the body, emphasizing its importance in ophthalmology.
