Which test is included in the Massachusetts battery of tests for visual screening?

Visual acuity testing is a fundamental component of the Massachusetts battery of tests for visual screening. This test specifically evaluates how well a person can see at a distance and is essential in identifying various vision impairments. It typically uses standardized charts, such as the Snellen chart, to measure the smallest letters a person can read at a certain distance. Determining visual acuity is crucial for identifying individuals who may need corrective lenses or further examination for underlying visual disorders. Other aspects of vision, such as contrast sensitivity, color vision, and astigmatism measurement, may be important but are not distinctly classified as part of this particular testing battery.
