Abstract
The visual performance tester (VPT), a device that uses patient response ti me as a variable to assess visual power, is described. Results in 126 emmet ropic eyes that had not had surgery are presented. The VPT provides more co mplete and accurate information about visual performance than the standard visual acuity examination because the device considers all variables involv ed in visual function results.
