The decline is according to E 2/( E 2+ E), where E is eccentricity in degrees visual angle, and E 2 is a constant of approximately 2 deg. the decline follows approximately a hyperbola). Acuity declines towards the periphery first steeply and then more gradually, in an inverse-linear fashion (i.e. However, acuity in peripheral vision can be of equal importance in everyday life. as a measure of central (or foveal) vision, for the reason that it is highest in the very center. Visual acuity is typically measured while fixating, i.e. When optical factors are corrected for, acuity can be considered a measure of neural well-functioning. In some cases, low visual acuity is caused by brain damage, such as from traumatic brain injury or stroke. Another common impairment, amblyopia, is caused by the visual brain not having developed properly in early childhood. Examples for the first are a detached retina and macular degeneration. Neural factors that limit acuity are located in the retina or the brain (or the pathway leading there). These anomalies can mostly be corrected by optical means (such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, refractive surgery, etc.). Other optical causes are astigmatism or more complex corneal irregularities.

Too high or too low refraction (in relation to the length of the eyeball and curvature of cornea) is, respectively, the cause of near-sightedness (myopia or minus power) or far-sightedness (hyperopia or plus power) normal refractive status is referred to as emmetropia (zero power). Causes of refractive errors include aberrations in the shape of the eyeball or the cornea, and reduced flexibility of the lens. The latter is the primary cause for low vision in people with albinism. Ī common cause of low visual acuity is refractive error (ametropia), errors in how the light is refracted in the eyeball, and errors in how the retinal image is interpreted by the brain. (1) the sharpness of the retinal image within the eye, (2) the health and functioning of the retina, and (3) the sensitivity of the interpretative faculty of the brain. Visual acuity is dependent on optical and neural factors, i.e. Visual acuity ( VA) commonly refers to the clarity of vision, but technically rates an examinee's ability to recognize small details with precision.
