Abstract

The acuity card procedure¹ is a recently developed variation of preferential looking (PL) for use in the behavioral assessment of the visual acuity of infants and young children. The procedure is suitable for use in clinical settings because it is fast, accurate, and may be used across a wide range of ages to assess the acuity of patients with diverse clinical disorders. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the acuity card procedure to clinical psychophysicists and invite discussion of the potential usefulness of the cards in routine clinical application.
