title: [Technical realization of an LCD-based vision test device].
abstract: We describe a computer-aided self-test vision screener for testing near and far visual acuity. The device generates images separately for each eye on a LCD. Acuity can be measured in the range between 0.1 and 1.6 for any distance between 0.34 m and 6 m. In addition, it also enables testing for colour deficiency, phoria, stereopsis and contrast sensitivity. The device is fully automatic and enables self-testing of the above mentioned functions. Initial practical application in an industrial environment has demonstrated the practicability of the device.
