Completed sessions describe adherence
Adherence records are based on completed sessions, while visual measurements track change. Review both with your clinician for a clear picture of follow-up.
Visual acuity and contrast sensitivity
Visual acuity concerns resolving fine detail; contrast sensitivity concerns distinguishing luminance differences between a pattern and its background. They describe different aspects of vision.
A number needs context
When reviewing a measurement, ask about its type, date, eye, optical correction, device and conditions. Values collected under different conditions are not automatically comparable.
Discuss change with your care team
Discuss what changed, whether measurements are comparable and what comes next. Illustrations and research explain the idea; your follow-up relies on your own measurements.
