Myopia self-check resultMenara Optometry Speciality Centre TTDI
Disclaimer / Penafian. This screening does not provide a medical diagnosis
or advice; the result is a guide only. Scores are an internal clinical aid to guide follow-up,
not a validated risk score. The home vision check is a screening prompt, not a measurement:
it depends on your screen, your lighting and the distance you stand, and a result from it
should never be read as your child’s prescription. Criteria adapted from IMI and Zadnik et al. 2015. Always confirm
your child’s eye health with a registered optometrist.
Check your child’s vision
A screening aid you can do at home. It does not measure your child’s
eyesight and it does not replace an eye examination.
How would you like to check?
Getting the distance right is the hardest part at home, so we recommend
the WHOeyes app.
Option 1 · recommendedWHOeyes appFree, from the World Health Organization. Install it, run the
distance test, then come back and type the result below.
Option 2Quick on-screen testUses this screen. You will need a bank card and a room where your
child can stand about two metres away. That is about six and a half
feet, or three adult steps.
6/6 is not the whole story.Your child may see clearly
without glasses and still be at risk of developing short-sightedness.A result below 6/6 does not
automatically mean glasses are needed. This screening cannot identify
that risk or determine what care your child needs. An eye examination
helps us assess both.
Result
Without spectacles /
tanpa cermin mata. Leave blank if you did not check.
Step 1 of 3 · Match a bank card
Hold any bank card against the screen upright, short edge across,
and drag until the dark box is exactly as wide as the card. This is what
tells us how big this screen really is.
Step 2 of 3 · Stand two metres away
Prop this screen up at your child’s eye level. Have your child stand
two metres away, about three big steps. Keep the room bright and the
screen at full brightness.
Cover your child’s left eye first. An E will appear. Ask which way
the legs point, and tap that arrow. If your child is unsure, let them guess.
If your child already wears glasses
for short-sight, keep them on and note that when you save the result.
Right eye done
Right eye result: —
Now cover your child’s right eye and leave the left eye
open. Keep your child at the same distance, about two metres away.
Do not start until the right
eye is covered. Testing the same eye twice gives a result that looks
complete but means nothing.

Ask your child which way the “legs” of the E
point, then tap the arrow matching their answer. Do not give hints
or correct their answer.Minta anak nyatakan arah “kaki” huruf E,
kemudian tekan anak panah mengikut jawapannya. Jangan beri petunjuk
atau betulkan jawapan anak.
