Eye Test Report
Eye tests put your vision to the test. They serve, among other things, to assess visual acuity and color perception. Visual acuity changes gradually, which is not always noticeable. Therefore, many people could see better if they had regular eye exams and, if necessary, corrective measures.

There are specific requirements that must be met for each of these assessments. During the medical examination, the primary focus is on fundamental visual functions. The following are tested:
Visual acuity is the eye’s ability to distinguish small objects clearly and with contrast. To assess visual acuity for evaluations, the Landolt rings are commonly used. These are circles of varying sizes with a gap at a random position. The patient must identify the location of this gap.
The visual field corresponds to the space of the external world that is imaged on and perceived by the retina when the eye is stationary. The visual field is examined through perimetry (measurement of the visual field), with particular attention paid to scotomas (visual field defects).
As people age, their ability to see in dim light often declines. This visual function is assessed using a visual acuity chart (such as a Landolt ring) by gradually reducing the contrast of the surrounding environment. This process continues until the subject is no longer able to discern the gap in the Landolt ring.
If misalignments or restrictions of the eyes occur, double vision may result. If strabismus (crossed eyes) or nystagmus (involuntary, rhythmic eye movements) do not produce double vision, the applicant may participate in road traffic.
Red-green color deficiency is often assessed using Ishihara plates. These plates consist of a pattern made up of dots that vary only in hue, not in intensity. The subject must identify a number embedded within the pattern based on the color hues.
Visual aids, such as glasses or contact lenses, should be brought to the examination. If the criteria are only met with the use of these aids, this must be noted in the report. All assessments are generally elective services from the Individual Health Services (IGeL) and must be paid for by the patient.
