The Kay iSight Test Professional app lets you measure and record near and distant visual acuity in children from 18 months of age through to adults. It is simple and intuitive to use, making your testing quick and easy.

The app uses international standard letters and Kay Picture optotypes for young children and others with a learning disability. In addition, near reading text is provided as short paragraphs or single, high frequency words.
There is also a point of light fixation target plus 4 animated images and two static scenes.
Using a suitable Bluetooth mouse, the app can be operated remotely to test at distance. See a short demonstration here.

- My App has stopped working – can you help?
Firstly, open the iSight app and tap Help and Support which takes you to a page in the app with a blue email support. This sends us an email that can help the developers to see any specific issues.
Please next try the following:
- Check that you have the latest iOS installed on your iPad. Go to the settings icon on your iPad, tap General and check for a software update. Most people have automatic updates on, so are usually up to date. If not, update to the latest iOS.
- Close down your iPad completely, leave it for a minute, and then power up again.
- Delete the app from your iPad, then go to the App store, blue A icon, and search for Kay iSight Test Professional. Tap the download cloud to reinstall the app.
Try the above in this order. Usually, you do need to delete and reinstall the app when there’s been a local or Apple glitch.
Reviews
“Fabulous App! Kay pictures is a fabulous app. It is able to be set at multiple viewing distances and is ideal for use in our remote offices. We recently found that it could be used with a mouse from across the room. It is simple, intuitive and just plain works well.”
PA Doc, Lancaster
“Kay’s crowded picture testing using the iPad app has transformed our practice, we are so mobile and it is great for those children who usually would take a longer time to warm to you/testing!”
Laura, Senior Orthoptist, GCUH, Australia
