Golovina-Sivtseva Tables

Golovina-Sivtseva Tables are a set of tables with alphabetic characters of various sizes used to determine visual acuity. They were developed at the beginning of the 20th century by outstanding Russian ophthalmologists S.S. Golovin and D.A. Sivtsev and are still widely used in practical ophthalmology.

The tables consist of 11 lines of letters of varying sizes - from very large to very small. The patient is asked to read the letters in each line sequentially at a distance of 5 meters. The last line that the patient can read without errors determines his visual acuity. This method allows you to quickly and accurately determine the degree of vision loss and track the dynamics during treatment.

Advantages of Golovin-Sivtsev tables:

  1. simplicity and ease of use;
  2. possibility of precise gradation of visual acuity;
  3. versatility (suitable for examining people of any age).

Golovin-Sivtsev tables have still not lost their relevance and are still widely used by ophthalmologists for express diagnostics and dynamic monitoring of the visual condition of patients.



Golovin-Sivtsev tables are a method developed by Soviet ophthalmologists Sergei Sivtsev and Semyon Golovin at the beginning of the 20th century. This method is used to diagnose and treat various eye diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment and others.

The Golovin-Sivtsev table is a set of 40 cards with various images on them. The patient should review the cards and select those that correspond to his or her visual condition. The doctor then analyzes the results and determines the degree of visual impairment.

The Golovin-Sivtseva table method is one of the most accurate and effective methods for diagnosing and treating eye diseases. It allows you to quickly and accurately determine the degree of vision impairment and prescribe the correct treatment.

Currently, the Golovin-Sivtseva table method is widely used in ophthalmology clinics around the world. It is a safe and effective way to diagnose and treat eye diseases, which allows you to preserve vision and improve the quality of life of patients.
