Jaeger (E. D.)

Jaeger (E. D.) refers to Edward D. Jaeger, a prominent American optometrist known for his work in eye care. He developed the Jaeger chart, a tool used by eye care professionals to measure near vision acuity, helping diagnose reading difficulties and presbyopia. The chart displays text at various sizes, allowing for an easy assessment of how well someone can see up close. His contributions have improved vision testing standards, making it simpler and more accurate for eye care providers to determine a person’s near vision correction needs.
