Testing Your Distance Vision

When you're watching a soccer game, admiring your neighborhood gardens or reading the signs in the aisles of your grocery store, you rely on your distance vision.

And when you visit your eye doctor, checking your distance vision is an important part of the appointment. How well you see things far away is called your distant acuity.

Your eye doctor uses several different exams to see how clear and sharp it is, and to see what they can provide to help.

Let's take a look at how your doctor checked your distant vision so you know what to expect and what your doctor is looking for. One thing to keep in mind with these and all eye exams is that you're not trying to pass the test or reach a certain level of accuracy.

Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your email address, name, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we are just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.
