#Snellen chart

[mcatmemoranda]

To use the Snellen chart, stand 20 feet away and read the rows of letters, starting at the top and working your way to the bottom. Do this while covering one eye and reading the chart with your uncovered eye. When you finish with one eye, restart the test with your other eye uncovered.

Each row of the Snellen chart represents a level of visual acuity, which is based on two numbers. The first number describes the Snellen chart’s distance from the patient. In the U.S., this number will almost always be 20 to represent 20 feet of distance. Countries that use the metric system will normally use the number 6 to represent a distance of 6 meters.

The second number describes how clearly a person can read a line of the Snellen chart from 20 feet away. For example, if someone has 20/20 vision, or “normal” vision, it means they can clearly read a line from 20 feet away that the average person could.

If someone has 20/50 vision, it means they have to be 20 feet away to read a line from the chart that someone with “normal” vision could read from 50 feet away. Source

The denominator being a larger number means worse vision. The denominator being a smaller number means better vision.

TIL that my right eye had gone haywire and shit

#story time! because im annoying #so today is my first day of clinical posting this semester and im posted to eye clinic #so we did our assessment (which the marks not as high as i expected) which are performing visual acuity test and instil eye drops #and when my friend did the visual acuity test on me my right eye vision is shit even when im wearing my glasses #it was 6/18 (which in the snellen chart i only managed to read until the 3rd row) #my left eye is okay and i thought i was tripping tbh #my ci thought my glasses' power increases as hell so she sent me to the low vision specialist part of the clinic #the ophthalmologist mention a medical condition idk the name and did the test like you would when you want to buy prescription glasses #the one where you wear a weird glasses and they keep on changing the lenses and ask you if its clearer or what #ANYWAY #turns out that when i was younger apparently the shop i made my glasses did the wrong prescription glasses #like my left eye was right but my right eye was wrong and it made my right eye turn to shit #so my power for my left eye is 300 while my right eye is 600+ #but they cant give me the 600 on my right eye because then it will autocorrect #like if i occlude my left eye i can see the it clearer but as a pair of glasses it will be hard to read as the words will merge and all #so what the glasses shop i got my latest glasses did is they balanced the power on each side so that i can see better #thats why when i did the visual acuity test my right eye is shit because my glasses is made that way to balance it #its a really good news though because i thought that i need to buy new glasses #he did mention that my 'silau' increases tho but that's fine #the more you know 👀 #personal.txt

Snellen Eye Chart Manufacturers in India: Eye charts are one of the numerous instruments the doctor uses during an eye exam, but they help assess one’s eyesight. During an eye exam, eye charts assess visual acuity by comparing how well one can see to other people. The eye doctor asks the patient to read the minor line of writing that one can make out from 20 feet away while looking at the eye chart.

"The standard visual acuity test in the U.S. is the Snellen eye chart. It measures the clarity of your vision at a distance of 20 feet from an object. If you have 20/20 vision, which is the average score, it means you can see an object clearly from 20 feet away.

If your score is 20/70, it means that your vision at 20 feet is like normal vision at 70 feet. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies this score as moderate visual impairment or moderate low vision. A score of 20/200 or above qualifies as severe low vision."

The “how many fingers am I holding up?” gambit from My Cousin Vinny was a really ballsy move on Vinny’s part when you think about it. Supposedly, lawyers usually operate on the principle of “never ask a witness a question if you don’t know the answer,” but in Vinny’s case, he is not only:

asking Mrs. Riley a question to which neither of them knew how she would answer in advance, and

asking a one-off question as a test of visual acuity, rather than providing something more standard like a Snellen chart which would test her visual acuity repeatedly, relying on her to fail in that singular one-off test, but

using a test in which even if she guessed randomly, with an integer between 1 and 4, she would have a 25% chance of giving the correct/bad for the defense answer. (Ruling out the zero-fingers closed fist and the five-fingers open palm, on the basis that those would be different enough at a crude level to be obvious even at some level of impaired vision)

So, lowkey, I appeared to have survived peak. The national and supplement mentions "seasonal" like 13 times and nothing about dates with regards to hiring for peak... So I guess my probation started on the 15th and I'll gain seniority after 30 working days? A new hurdle is that of the DOT Physical and my vision. The easiest and quickest solution is to just memorize the Snellen chart. Just not sure which one they use. Additionally, I've heard your doctor can just sign off on it if DOT says otherwise...? A local driver I run into every now and then said they send you to CareNow. I'd like to find out how to suss this out before doing 3/4/5+ years to get called up to drive...
