Kay iSight Test Professional App

Description

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.

A new feature for the iPad is Remote Video Testing. It’s a simple way to test vision remotely. Use your iSight Pro iPad app shared through a video conferencing app at your desk to test anywhere in the world. You can subscribe as an individual user for £6.99 per month or £43.99 a year.

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.

The Kay Picture Test is the only fully validated picture vision test with accurate, recognisable pictures and evidence-based crowding. This app is registered and CE marked as a medical device with MHRA.

Support FAQs

Support FAQs for Kay Pictures iSight Pro App

How do l cancel my paid subscription to the App?

You can cancel your subscription in Settings on your iPad/Phone.

Go to the setting icon and tap your name at the top left which opens a page with subscriptions in the list. Tap subscriptions and choose Kay iSight Test Professional, then choose to cancel the subscription.

We don’t deal directly with payments on the App or subscription queries. Apple deals with that. Here is a link to some further information: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/billing if you need it.

Or contact Apple support: https://support.apple.com/en-us/118223.

I have an issue with billing on my iSight Pro App

Apple deals directly with all subscription payments via your iTunes account. We don’t have access to any of this information ourselves. Please contact Apple support with your question https://support.apple.com/en-gb/billing.

I have paid for a subscription, but the App is not working

It may be that your payment option was not accepted by Apple or that your payment method is not up to date in your settings. It’s best to check this first.

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
