How Eye test for Distance vision ?

Comprehensive Eye and Vision Examination                                          Home

Periodic eye and vision examinations are an important part of preventive health care. Many eye and vision problems have no obvious signs or symptoms. As a result, individuals are often unaware that problems exist. Early diagnosis and treatment of eye and vision problems are important for maintaining good vision and eye health, and when possible, preventing vision loss.

A comprehensive adult eye and vision examination may include, but is not limited to, the following tests. Individual patient signs and symptoms, along with the professional judgment of the doctor, may significantly influence the testing done.

Eye examination is a series of tests performed by an ophthalmologist (medical doctor), optometrist, or orthoptist assessing vision and ability to focus on and discern objects, as well as other tests and examinations pertaining to the eyes. Health care professionals often recommend that all people should have periodic and thorough eye examinations as part of routine primary care, especially since many eye diseases are asymptomatic.

Eye test for Distance vision

This test can be taken with or without glasses.

To take this test correctly, it is necessary to place yourself at a distance from the screen of approximately:

2.20m for a 20 "screen,

1.50m for a 17 "screen,

1m for a 15 "screen,

75cm for a 14 "screen

Screen Cover one eye with your hand, without pressing on the lid, and read the test below, letter by letter.

Cover the other eye and begin the test again.

If you have read the test as successfully with the right eye as with the left eye, you probably have good central acuity. If you do not manage to read all the letters, either with one eye or with two, an eyesight check by an eye care specialist would appear necessary.
