Résumé

Vous est-il déjà arriver de recevoir un porteur de verres à contact qui se plaint d'une mauvaise vision malgré une acuité visuelle de 6/6? II semble avoir conflit entre la qualité et la quantité de la vision. Y aurait-il un facteur à évaluer autre que le vieux critère de l'acuité Snellen de 6/6? Ce travail qui expose une nouvelle technique d'évaluer la qualité de la vision permettra au practicien de mieux comprendre l'état de ces patients sujets a des malaises vagues mais réels.
