eye charts
Optometrist's wall displays
Eye charts are boards displaying letters or symbols in rows of decreasing size, used to test visual acuity.
The standard Snellen chart, with its big E at the top, is the most familiar.
Reading the eye chart is a ritual of vision exams: I can never make out the bottom line.
