WHAT IS VULA VISION?

A quick eye screening on a smartphone and/or tablet to screen a patient’s visual acuity at a distance. Developed by Vula Mobile, the app calculates the visual acuity and highlights any decrease in distance vision at the end of the screening. The Vula Vision screening can easily be added to a user’s hearX clinical solution test battery and is integrated with the hearX mHealth Studio data management and reporting platform.

RESEARCH VALIDATION
COMPARING THE PEEK ACUITY AND VULA VISION MOBILE APPS FOR VISUAL ACUITY TEST ACCURACY, FAIL RATE AND TEST DURATION
William Mapham, MBChB DipOphthal FCOphth
De Wet Swanepoel, PhD
There was no statistically significant difference between the LogMar scores obtained using the Peek Acuity or Vula Vision acuity tests. Based on a fail criterion (>0.2 Logmar) the pass and fail outcomes were significantly associated between Peek Acuity and Vula Vision tests with an 92% overall correspondence. Vula Vision test was 23% faster on average compared to Peek Acuity test.

WHY USE DISTANCE VISION SCREENING?
Distance vision screening is different to screening for other forms of vision such as reading, colour, contrast and visual fields. Different parts of the eye enable you to see clearly and the eye lens can change shape to help focus on nearby and distant objects. To screen for distance vision the lens needs to be in a relaxed state, usually performed in a specialised eye clinic at a distance of 6 metres.

As a screening test and to be practical in a general medical clinic setting, the Vula Vision screening is being conducted at 2 metres, the shortest distance at which the lens will remain in the relaxed state. A screening performed at less than 2 metres would cause the lens to change shape and would start a near vision screening, used for reading.
