Abstract

This invention is a programmable vision testing apparatus and method for use in conducting optometric examinations of video display terminal (VDT) users. The apparatus uses a digital display screen accurately to represent a VDT used under actual work conditions. Further, a plurality of images can be displayed via the vision testing apparatus to provide a convenient and efficient way to test the eyes of VDT users with a wide variety of individual needs.
