Despite its potential limitations as a tool to measure subtle changes in VA over time, the ARCchart showed a limit of agreement between -0.23logMAR and 0.26logMAR with ETDRS values. It demonstrated 93% (95% Confidence Interval 86% to 100%) sensitivity and 90% (84% to 97%) specificity when used to screen for vision worse than 0.20logMAR. This low-cost, portable cloth VA chart is a valuable alternative for measuring VA and screening for low vision in resource poor settings.</p> Christine Jaffray, Niall Strang, Obaid Kousha, Gavin Galloway, Laura Sweeney, Andrew Blaikie Copyright (c) 2023 Christine Jaffray, Niall Strang, Obaid Kousha, Gavin Galloway, Laura Sweeney, Andrew Blaikie https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://open.lnu.se/index.php/sjovs/article/view/3923 Wed, 27 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0100 https://open.lnu.se/index.php/sjovs/article/view/4096 Rigmor C.
