- Crucial tool for assessing near vision, providing a quick and effective way to determine a patient's reading ability and aid in the prescription of corrective eyewear
Uses:
- Near Vision Testing: Essential for ophthalmologists, optometrists, and general practitioners to evaluate a patient's ability to read and see objects clearly at close range
- Prescribing Reading Glasses: Helps in determining the appropriate prescription for reading glasses or multifocal lenses

- Routine Eye Exams: Standard component of comprehensive eye examinations
Key Features:
- Presents paragraphs or sentences of text in varying font sizes, from very small to larger print
