The Keeler Sheridan Gardiner Test is a well-established visual acuity test designed primarily for children but also suitable for individuals with disabilities, learning difficulties, or those who do not share a common language with the examiner

This test is widely used in paediatric ophthalmology due to its simplicity and effectiveness in assessing visual acuity in young patients.

One of the key features of the Sheridan Gardiner Test is its use of single optotypes. The test consists of a series of cards, each displaying a single letter or symbol. The child is asked to identify the letter or symbol from a distance, either verbally or by matching it to a corresponding letter or symbol on a key card

This method is particularly effective for young children who may not yet be familiar with the alphabet or for those who have difficulty with verbal communication.

The test includes a range of optotypes, such as Snellen letters and other symbols, which are presented in decreasing sizes to determine the smallest size the child can accurately identify. This allows for a precise measurement of visual acuity, which is crucial for diagnosing and managing various visual impairments

The Sheridan Gardiner Test is designed to be user-friendly and adaptable to different testing environments. It can be conducted in a well-lit room without the need for specialized equipment, making it accessible for use in schools, clinics, and other settings

The test is also available with optional orthoptic booklets, which provide additional resources for assessing binocular vision and other aspects of visual function
