Eye Chart Rosenbaum  14 Inch Distance Acuity Test

Features

• Have the patient wear their corrective lenses (if any), make sure the card is evenly illuminated, and instruct the patient to hold the test card 14″ away from their eyes
• Corrective lenses are worn in order to determine the “best-corrected%XE2%X80? visual acuity
• Ask the patient to cover their left eye (the right eye is always examined first)
• Ask the patient to say each letter or read each word on the line of smallest characters that are legible on the card
• Record the visual acuity for the right eye according to the accepted notation method
• Repeat the process for the left eye and then with both eyes viewing the test card and record the visual acuity
• Patient’s who cannot see the letters or numbers on the card should have their vision recorded as count fingers (e.g., CF at 5ft), hand motion (e.g., HM at 2 ft), light perception (LP), or no light perception (NLP)
