Kindergarten Eye Chart, 22 x 11 Inch, 20 Foot Test Distance

The Kindergarten Eye Chart is a pediatric vision screening chart designed for use with pre-literate children who cannot yet identify standard Snellen letters. Using universally recognizable symbols or shapes in place of letters, it allows clinicians to assess visual acuity in young children at a standard 20-foot test distance. The chart measures 22 x 11 inches and features a non-reflective matte finish to minimize glare during testing. Suitable for wall mounting in physician offices, pediatric clinics, and school health settings.

Ideal For

Pediatric physician offices and family medicine practices that perform routine vision screening on young children who cannot yet identify standard Snellen letters will find the kindergarten symbol chart a practical, age-appropriate screening tool. School health clinics and nurse offices that conduct annual vision screenings for pre-kindergarten and early elementary students will benefit from the symbol-based format that does not require letter recognition. Ophthalmology and optometry practices that screen young pediatric patients as part of a comprehensive eye examination will find the 20-foot calibration and matte finish suitable for standard clinical testing conditions. Any clinical setting that performs pediatric vision screening as part of well-child visits or school entry physicals will find this chart a standard, widely used option for pre-literate vision assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What symbols are used on a kindergarten eye chart?
Kindergarten eye charts typically use simple, universally recognizable symbols such as a house, apple, circle, or hand in place of letters. The child points to or names the symbol rather than identifying a letter, making the chart usable for children who have not yet learned to read.

What is the test distance for this chart?
This chart is calibrated for a standard 20-foot test distance, which is the standard distance used for visual acuity testing in clinical and school settings.

How does this differ from a standard Snellen eye chart?
A standard Snellen chart uses letters of the alphabet and requires the patient to identify each letter. A kindergarten chart uses symbols or shapes that do not require letter recognition, making it appropriate for pre-literate children or patients who cannot reliably identify letters.

Can this chart be used for adults?
This chart is designed for pediatric vision screening of pre-literate children. For adult vision screening, a standard Snellen letter chart or ETDRS chart is the appropriate tool.
