Interventions
Snellen chart
Patients will be asked to use the 5 feet distance for standardization, which allows for visual acuity assessment from 20/16 to 20/200. Patients will be asked to wear their current corrective lens for distance, to take the test at home in a place with good lighting and to test each eye separately. Office-based vision testing will be performed by a trained ophthalmic technician in a dimmed room with the Snellen chart illuminated on a screen. Patients will be asked to wear their current corrective lens for distance and an eye occluder will be used to test each eye separately.
