The Snellen Visual Acuity Chart

What is Meant by 20/20 vision? At a distance of 20 feet, a normal eye can read the 20 foot line. 20/15 = person can see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can see at 15 feet 20/100 = person can see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet

Nearsightedness – “myopia” • Eyeball is abnormally long • Image focuses in front of retina • Can see well at short distances, can’t see far

Farsightedness – “hyperopia” • Eyeball is abnormally short • Image focused behind retina • Unable to see close

Astigmatism • Blurred or distorted images due to imperfections in the shape of the cornea or lens

Cataract • Lens becomes opaque preventing light rays from reaching the retina

Hyphema • Bleeding into the anterior chamber of the eye due to a direct blow • May obscure all or part of the iris • May impair vision

Conjuctivitis “Pink Eye” • Inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye • Burning, itching, yellow discharge • Viral or bacterial

Sty • Infection of the eyelid follicle • Moist heat packs • Do Not pop
