1. A visual acuity test comprising: a display surface; at least one animated non-static rotating dynamic optotype image shape displayed upon the display surface, the at least one non-static rotating dynamic optotype image shape having an image size that remains fixed during the visual acuity test, a plurality of non-contiguous image segments with image gaps between the non-contiguous image segments, the image segments having a segment size that remains fixed during the visual acuity test and a segment color, the image gaps having a uniform gap separation distance; a viewing distance between the at least one animated non-static rotating dynamic optotype image shape and a subject being tested for visual acuity; a rate of rotation of the at least one animated non-static rotating dynamic optotype image shape; a direction of rotation; a dynamic optotype viewing direction; a background color, the background color contrasting with the segment color; and a visual acuity threshold determination obtained_by varying at least one of the rate of rotation, the image size, the image segment size, the image gaps, the image segment color, the background color, and the direction of rotation.
