The Snellen test gives a false sense of security to parents and teachers that vision is normal, and serious problems, not revealed in an eye chart test, can go overlooked.
They also perform the standardized Snellen test, during which the patient covers one eye at a time and identifies letters on a chart from 20 feet away.
