Visual acuity is the spatial resolving capacity of the visual system. This may be thought of as the ability of the eye to see fine detail. There are various ways to measure and specify visual acuity, depending on the type of acuity task used. Visual acuity is limited by diffraction, aberrations, and photoreceptor density in the eye (1). Apart from these limitations, a number of factors also affect visual acuity, such as refractive error, illumination, contrast, and the location of the retina being stimulated.
