How to take your fi rst vision test
1. Place your elbows on a fl at surface to hold your smartphone as steady as possible
2. Hold the smartphone at reading distance, and slowly move it closer until the eye
cup touches your right eye
3. You should see two lines, one red, and one green. Take a few seconds to fi nd
these lines. If you do not see them, try gently moving the miniscope left and right,
up and down. It takes some practice and is an important part of getting accurate
test results. NOTE: Your fi rst time taking the test will be the hardest. Once you
fi nd the lines and successfully completely your fi rst test, all subsequent tests will
become much easier to perform.
4. Once you see the red and green lines, open and relax your left eye (non-testing
eye) during the test. Most people fi nd it helpful to focus on a large object at least 6
feet away.
5. Tap on the plus (+) or the minus (-) button
and overlap the red and green lines
completely, until they form a solid yellow
line. You may hold down the plus (+) or
minus (-) buttons for faster movement.
6. Once you are satisfi ed that the lines are
overlapped, click “next”.
7. You will be prompted to rotate your miniscope to position 2. Turn the rotating eye
piece in the direction of the arrow until the number “2” is just above the white dot.
8. Look into the miniscope. The red and green lines are now at a different angle.
Overlap them as you’ve done for the previous test; click “next” when you see only
one solid yellow line.
9. Rotate your eye piece to position 3 and repeat. Complete all 9 measurements for
your right eye. Follow voice prompts.
10. Rotate your eye piece to position 1 and test your left eye. Complete all 9
measurements for your left eye. Follow voice prompts.
11. Congratulations! The test completion screen appears with the fi rst indication of
your vision. You may choose to save or discard this test result.
