The Dyop Infant Test offers a novel, motion-based method for assessing visual acuity in infants, overcoming the limitations of
traditional optotype testing for non-verbal subjects. This study evaluates the efficacy of using a gray versus a white background in
tracking visual acuity development in an infant tested at 80, 95, and 100 days of age. Visual acuity was measured by detecting motion
of the smallest diameter Dyop ring. Results indicate that visual acuity improved with age across both backgrounds, reflecting normal
developmental progression.
The white background consistently facilitated better detection of Dyop motion, likely due to higher contrast sensitivity. However,
the gray background provided more accurate measurements of resolution acuity, as the merging of black segments and white gaps
into the gray ring represented the threshold for detecting motion. These findings highlight the importance of background contrast in
visual acuity testing and suggest that the Dyop Infant Test on a gray background serves as a reliable tool for early detection of visual
development issues. Future research with larger sample sizes is recommended to further validate these findings and explore the
clinical implications for populations with visual impairments.
