Pocket Eye Test Chart

Plastic 6-1/2  X 3-1/2  * Use at 14  distance * Durable laminated plastic * Precise  clear  legible; provides 20/800 distance equivalent testing at 14 .* The back of the card features a millimeter scale and an inch scale * Visual acuity (Va) can be assessed by using the Pocket Vision Screener (not to be confused with the larger Snellen eye chart) * The Pocket Vision Screener gives a distance equivalent Va even though the card is held 14  from the patient * Va testing is done in the following manner:  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 VA * 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 Va 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 VA * 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). *
