Operational Based Vision Assessment: Automated Vision Test Research and Validation

Abstract

The work detailed in this report was conducted by the Operational Based Vision Assessment Laboratory, Aeromedical Research Department, Human Performance Branch, U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, with support from KBRwyle. The report describes research conducted to develop normative data for several new automated vision tests and to examine the test-retest reliability of each of the tests. The automated vision tests described in this report include a color vision test, near and far stereo acuity tests, luminance contrast and acuity tests, a fusion range test, and a motion sensitivity test. Research and development of these tests is being pursued by the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine Operational Based Vision Assessment Laboratory to modernize U.S. Air Force vision screening and establish quantitative relationships between vision test results and operationally relevant performance. This report briefly describes each test and summarizes the normative data collected to establish descriptive statistics for each test and test reliability.
