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.

These custom Snellen eye chart test lyric prints will really see if people can see the song that means something to you. Pick a song, and verse, somewhere in the region of 70-80 letters work best, but can be adapted when possible.

Find Snellen Eye Chart Manufacturers In India
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)
