A research on the hypotheses that 'patients who receive encouragement during visual acuity testing achieve better scores than patients who receive no encouragement' is conducted. The results suggest that the subjects did get better visual acuity scores when encouragement was used and recommendations are made to change the clinic protocol.

Article Abstract:
