Visual Acuity Chart

A visual acuity chart is a tool used by eye care professionals to measure how well you see at various distances. It typically displays rows of letters that decrease in size from top to bottom. During the test, you'll stand a specific distance away and read the smallest line of letters you can see clearly. This assessment helps determine your visual clarity and identify if you need corrective lenses. The results are usually expressed as a fraction (like 20/20), indicating your ability to see at a certain distance compared to normal vision.
