Optometrist's chart readings

Eye tests are examinations that assess vision and eye health.

An optometrist or ophthalmologist administers eye tests to check for conditions like nearsightedness, glaucoma, or cataracts: I need new glasses—time for an eye test.

The term also applies to visual acuity charts and screening procedures: The DMV requires an eye test for license renewal.
