    The document provides instructions on how to check visual acuity using a Snellen chart. It instructs readers to stand 3 meters away and read numbers on the chart with each eye separately. It concludes by recommending making an appointment for a comprehensive eye exam if any numbers cannot be read and noting that a regular eye exam is still important even if the Snellen test is passed, especially for those over 40.

    If you have any trouble reading any of the numbers above, please contact us to make an
    appointment for a comprehensive vision examination, which will include testing for Glaucoma and
    Colour Vision as routine.

    If you didn't have any trouble reading any of the above numbers - your visual acuity seems to be
    good - but this does not necessarily mean that there is a lack of refractive error or pathology,
    especially if you are over 40. It is still important to have your eyes checked regularly to ensure and
    maintain ocular health!
