Snellen charts are a tool used by eye doctors to measure visual acuity, or how well a person can see at a distance. The chart features rows of letters or symbols that decrease in size, and the patient is asked to identify the smallest line they can see from a specific distance. This measurement is often used to determine the severity of refractive errors or the need for corrective lenses. Using Snellen charts requires specialized training and knowledge of eye anatomy and visual acuity testing.
