Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Pocket Vision Screener and a Snellen eye chart?
A Snellen chart is a large wall-mounted chart used at 20 feet. The Pocket Vision Screener is a handheld card used at 14 inches that provides a distance-equivalent visual acuity reading, making it suitable for bedside, office, or field use where a full chart is not available.

Does the patient need to remove their glasses for the test?
No — corrective lenses should be worn during testing to determine best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Testing without lenses measures uncorrected acuity.

What does the millimeter scale on the back of the card measure?
The millimeter and inch scales on the reverse side can be used to measure pupillary distance or other small clinical measurements during an exam.

Is this card reusable?
Yes — the laminated plastic construction is durable and easy to wipe clean between patients, making it suitable for repeated clinical use.
