vision testing
Checking your sight
Vision testing is the examination of eyesight to measure acuity, detect problems, and determine corrective lens prescriptions.
It ranges from basic screenings—the familiar wall chart with progressively smaller letters—to comprehensive eye exams checking for diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration.
The school requires vision testing for all incoming students.
