Testing your Vision

People of all ages require regular eye examinations to check vision and eye health. This chart provides a quick test to see how your reading and distance vision compares to what is expected in 'normal vision'.

HOW TO DO THESE TESTS

• Test one eye at a time.
  (Cover one eye but keep both eyes open.)
• Wear glasses or contact lenses, if usually worn.
  (If you use separate reading glasses, wear them for the reading vision test only.)
• Do the tests in a well-lit area.
  (Avoid shadows on the chart.)
• Do not squint, relax your eyes.

READING VISION TESTEspecially useful for people 40 years or older.

Cover one eye ata time and hold this card at your normal reading distance (about 40 cm from your eyes.)

Can you read the bottom line on the chart below?

Distance Vision Test

Carry out the two tests below at 1.5m
(ex. Place card on floor and tilt head down.)

MYOPIA

Can you read ALL the black and grey letters with each eye?

ASTIGMATISM

Do any of these lines appear much darker than others with each eye?

How Did you Perform
If you marked any of the RED boxes, keep this card and visit your eye care practitioner who will further assess your vision.

• These tests do not replace the need for regular eye examinations.
• Passing these tests does not imply complete eye health.

What we need is someone to make a "Independent optical company friendly test" or "Acceptable insurance company test".

Could be sent to all optician and optometry meetings. Print it out as is, placed on the table. Simply check the yes or no boxes.

This chart provides a quick test to see how your insurance companry reimburses or your vertically integrated materials company compares to what is expected.

It's more a vision screening than anything else. "Oh hey, let me see if my vision is good. Hmmm, maybe I should go see an eye doctor." It's not like the "eye test" claims to tell you your prescription.

Very interesting link, but this can’t be considered a replacement for a comprehensive consultation, surely. I think it’s worth the time to sit down, schedule an appointment, and meet with a qualified eye doctor if you feel you need an examination. Where I live in North Carolina, Dr. Alan Carlson at the Duke Eye Center is very highly regarded.
