Materials Needed:

• Eye exam chart
• A well-lit room
• A measuring tape or ruler
• A pen and paper for recording results
• An assistant (optional)

Steps:

1. Setup The Snellen Eye Test Chart:

• Place the chart on a wall at eye level in a well-lit room. Ensure there is no glare or shadows on the chart.
• Measure a distance of 1.8 meters from the eyesight test chart and mark a spot to stand. This distance is crucial for an accurate test.

2. Testing Your Vision:

• Stand at the marked spot 1.8 meters from the chart.
• If you wear glasses or contact lenses, perform the test both with and without them for comparison.
• Cover your left eye with your hand or a piece of paper without pressing on it.

3. Reading the Eye Test Chart:

• Starting from the top, read each line aloud, covering one eye at a time.
• Have an assistant check your reading accuracy.
• Note the smallest line you can read correctly. Each line corresponds to a vision level (e.g., 20/200, 20/100, etc.).

4. Recording Results:

• Record the smallest line you can read for each eye separately, right eye (OD) and left eye (OS).
• Compare your results to the standard vision levels on the right side of the eye test chart.

5. Interpreting Results Using the Snellen Chart:

• 20/20 Vision: If you can read the "20/20" line or smaller, your vision is considered normal.
• Worse than 20/20 Vision: If you cannot read the "20/20" line or smaller, you might need corrective lenses.
• Significantly Blurred Vision: If you struggle to read lines above "20/40", consider visiting an eye care professional for a comprehensive eye exam.

Important Notes:

• Consistent Lighting: Ensure the lighting remains consistent throughout the test.
• Repeat the Test: Conduct the test multiple times or on different days to ensure consistent results.
• Seek Professional Help: This test is a preliminary assessment. For an accurate diagnosis and prescription, visit an optometrist or ophthalmologist.

Follow-Up:

If you notice significant difficulty in reading the chart, especially if your vision has changed since your last test, schedule an appointment with an eye care professional. Regular eye exams are recommended every one to two years, even if you do not experience vision problems. By following these steps, you can assess whether it's time to get new glasses or if you need glasses for the first time.
