What is Near Vision Test

A Near Vision Test is an eye test that is used to check your near vision and how well you can see up close.This test is also known as a "reading test" because it is often used to determine how well you can read small print.

The test involves reading a series of letters and numbers on a chart from a designated distance.You will be asked to read the smallest line of letters that you can see clearly.

The test is used to identify refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.The results of the test will help your eye doctor determine the best corrective lenses to fit your vision needs.

How Near Vision Test is done

  1. The Near Vision Test is a test of your ability to see clearly at close distances. The test is done using a fully automated eye chart and machine. The machine will display a series of symbols or letters of different sizes. You will be asked to read the symbols or letters one at a time. The machine will then measure your ability to see the symbols or letters more clearly. After the test is complete, the results will be evaluated and your near vision will be assessed.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.
