Near visual acuity

Richard C. Allen, MD, PhD, FACS
Additional Notes: Length 00:28

Near visual acuity is determined with the patient wearing their glasses.  Each eye is evaluated separately.  The patient holds a near card at a comfortable distance, usually about 18 inches.  The patient should then read the smallest print possible.  The pinhole occluder is usually not used for this part of the examination.
