About Visual Acuity

Visual Acuity

Each eye is tested separately, while wearing glasses or corrective lenses, to determine the smallest letters you can read on a standard eye chart at a distance of 20 feet.  You will cover one eye at a time to read, then repeat with the opposite eye.  You will also be asked to read a card held approximately 14 inches away – again covering one eye at a time.  This test is conducted as part of a comprehensive eye examination at all of our office locations.
