To perform the test, the patient stands 20 feet from the chart and reads the largest line of letters they can clearly see. The examiner records which line the patient can read to determine their visual acuity score. The Snellen Test is a basic screening tool used by eye doctors to evaluate a patient's sharpness of vision.
