The web-based test for self-assessing vision, performed at home by children with assistance from their parents, yielded VA scores with a precision similar to Snellen chart testing conducted in a clinical setting. However, the web-based refractive error algorithm overestimated myopia progression and requires recalibration for this specific age group.
