Vision testing system and method

A method of vision testing comprising:

• providing a display including an operatively associated controller configured to present a first chart of optotypes followed by a second chart of optotypes;
• presenting to the patient the first chart of optotypes oriented on a set of lines of the optotypes wherein each line progressively decreases in one of size or in contrast of the optotype relative to a background on the display;
• having a patient identify and read the set of lines of optotypes;
• noting the last line of optotypes at which the patient can correctly identify all of the optotypes in the line of the first chart,
• wherein the controller receives data regarding the last line of optotypes at which the patient can correctly identify all the optotypes in the line of the first chart;
• confirming that the patient has correctly identified all of the optotypes in the line of the first chart;
• and
• presenting to the patient the second chart of optotypes oriented on a set of lines of optotypes wherein each line of the second chart progressively decreases in one of size or in contrast of the optotype relative to a background on the display, and the size or contrast of the noted line of optotypes from the first chart for which the patient previously correctly identified all of the optotypes is presented as a first line of optotypes on the second chart on the display, and wherein the first line of optotypes on the second chart randomized with respect to the correctly identified line of optotypes from the first chart.
