Snellen Eye Chart

A standard eye chart is necessary to make comparisons and to record visual acuity. The most common chart used in most doctors' offices is the Snellen eye chart.

In 1862, a Dutch Ophthalmologist, Dr. Hermann Snellen, devised this eye chart. He determined that there was a relationship between the sizes of certain letters viewed at certain distances.
