What is the Kay iSight Pro App?

The Kay iSight Pro App is a dynamic digital tool tailored for eye care professionals to measure accurate visual acuity at several near and distant distances. With its intuitive interface, practitioners can easily measure visual acuity, reading text and reading speed, directly from their iPad or iPhone. It also includes the option to display the vision tests on an external screen at the test distance and use the iPad to remotely control the display by screen sharing. This same technology has been incorporated to accurately scale the display on any remote digital device, allowing for an eye professional to test a patient in their home via video conferencing. This technology has been checked and validated in a study in 2021 by the University of Sheffield which showed no significant difference between visual acuities measured in person and measured remotely using the Kay iSight Test Professional app.

In their questionnaire involving 36 individuals, 100% reported that the instructions were clear, and 83% found it easy to position their phone at eye level. Additionally, 80% had no issues measuring the optotype size, and most could hear the examiner clearly, with 93% experiencing no internet issues. Participants appreciated the quick, convenient process that allowed them to test comfortably at home. Overall, remote testing proved effective, with only a few areas for improvement noted.

This mobile capability is ideal for young patients who may feel anxious about traditional testing methods or environments, allowing for a more relaxed and engaging experience. Importantly, the app is designed to test patients as young as 18 months, accommodating those who can name, sign, or match pictures. Young children are less fazed when tested with a digital device that they often associate with entertainment. Our free Kay Say & Match app has fun games to familiarise the youngest, shyest patients with the pictures and test process.

Easy to Use and Cost-Effective

One of the standout benefits of the Kay iSight Pro App is its simplicity. Eye care professionals can quickly access various tests and choose several test distances from 33cm to 6 metres on the iPad or 33cm to 3m on the iPhone. Sizing is instantly adjusted to the chosen test distance and the LogMAR, plus Snellen or Decimal sizing is displayed. The optotypes displayed can quickly be changed to crowded, uncrowded, single, linear or chart presentation during a test.

The person testing is in complete control of the test process. With a simple swipe of the screen, the optotype sizes are easily increased or decreased or randomised, whatever is appropriate for testing each patient. At the end of each test there’s a clever automated option that records and saves the visual acuity for each eye for future viewing, or exporting as a spreadsheet, eliminating recording errors, plus making it great for vision screening.

Tests include:

  1. Kay Letter Tests
  2. Kay Picture Test
  3. Reading Tests
  4. Sentence Tests
  5. Single Word Test
  6. Fixation Targets (including animated targets)

This ease of use not only saves valuable time during appointments but also ensures accurate evaluations for patients of all ages and abilities and locations. Used on the iPhone, a vision test can be always on hand, ready for use.

From a financial perspective, the Kay iSight Pro App is an excellent investment. It eliminates the need for costly physical testing equipment, freeing up space in your practice. Instead of a one-time purchase, the app operates on a monthly or annual subscription model, providing ongoing access to its versatile features without the burden of maintenance costs.

You can subscribe as an individual user for just £5.49 per month or £39.49 a year. One subscription covers both iPhone and iPad devices on the same Apple account. If you’ve not subscribed to iSight Test Professional before, the first month is completely free. Once you sign up, no payment is taken by Apple until the free trial period ends, you can cancel at any time via your subscription setting.
