What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a replacement distance card set for the NEWT (New Evaluations of What's Trending) Kit, a near and distance visual acuity assessment tool developed by APH for use with students and individuals who have low vision. The cards present optotype targets at standardized distances, allowing a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) or low vision clinician to measure functional distance visual acuity. This pack is a consumable/replacement component — it has no standalone function without the larger NEWT Kit assessment system. Anyone ordering should confirm compatibility with their existing kit version, as the full NEWT Kit is required for meaningful use.
