There are two simple vision tests that are carried out after the eye health check. These are:

  • Simple distance vision test for people 8 years and older
  • ৪০ বছৰ আৰু তাতকৈ অধিক বয়সৰ লোকৰ বাবে সহজ ওচৰৰ দৃষ্টিশক্তি পৰীক্ষা।

The TAP vision screen E-Charts

The TAP vision screen is to be used only for screening, not for a full vision assessment.

The charts are made up of different sized ‘Es’ facing in different directions.

ইয়াৰ সহায়ত সৰল দূৰত্বৰ দৃষ্টি পৰীক্ষা আৰু সৰল ওচৰৰ দৃষ্টি পৰীক্ষা দুয়োটা কৰিব পাৰি।

For each test, people indicate the direction of the ‘open’ end of the E ‘legs’.

If they are correct, it shows that the person can see the E clearly.

E with hand to indicate the legs are pointing up.E with hand to indicate legs are pointing to right.

E with hand to indicate the legs are pointing down.E with hand to indicate legs are pointing to left.

Tip

E ৰ প্ৰতিটো শাৰীৰ কাষৰ সংখ্যাবোৰে E ৰ আকাৰ বৰ্ণনা কৰে।

ব্যক্তিজনক সাজু কৰক

Ask the person to sit on the chair and show them the E-Charts.

Explain to them:

  • You will use the charts to find out how well they see into the distance and up close (near).
  • For the distance test, you will test one eye at a time, by asking them to cover one eye while you test the other.
  • During the test you will ask them to look at E’s on the chart.
  • For each E you point to, they need to indicate the direction of the “legs” of each “E”. They can do this with their hands, or words.

তেওঁলোকৰ লগত অনুশীলন কৰক যাতে আপুনি জানে যে তেওঁলোকে বুজি পাইছে।

Check if the person has spectacles

Ask the person if they have spectacles that were prescribed for them.

If yes, ask if the spectacles are for:

  • Seeing in the distance, or
  • Seeing up close (near)

If the spectacles are for seeing into the distance, they should wear these spectacles during the distance vision test.

যদি চশমা ওচৰৰ পৰা চোৱাৰ বাবে হয় তেন্তে ওচৰৰ দৃষ্টিশক্তি পৰীক্ষাৰ সময়ত এই চশমা পিন্ধিব লাগে।

If they are not sure, or if the spectacles were not individually prescribed for them, they should not wear them during the test. This could lead to a false test.

ঠাইখিনি সাজু কৰক

The simple distance vision test is done with the person looking at the E-Chart from 3 metres away.
Either:

  • Hold the E-Chart in front of you for the person to see OR
  • Pin up the E-Chart on a wall.

যিজন ব্যক্তিৰ পৰীক্ষা কৰা হৈছে, তেওঁ বহি থাকিব লাগে।

স্থান সাজু কৰিবলৈ:

  • য'ত আপুনি চাৰ্টখন ধৰি ৰাখিব – আপুনি য’ত থিয় হ’ব তাত মজিয়াত চিহ্নিত কৰক।
  • If the chart is pinned onto a wall – place it at sitting eye level.
  • Place a chair so the backrest is 3m away from the chart.
  • Mark on the floor where the chair should be so that if it is moved you can easily place it back in the right spot.

যদি আপুনি বিভিন্ন স্থানত দৃষ্টি পৰীক্ষা কৰি আছে, তেন্তে ৩ মিটাৰ দৈৰ্ঘ্যৰ এডাল সূতা নাইবা ৰছি ৰাখক যিটো ব্যৱহাৰ কৰি আপুনি দূৰত্ব দ্ৰুতভাৱে চিহ্নিত কৰিব পাৰে।

সৰল ওচৰৰ দৃষ্টিশক্তি পৰীক্ষা পদ্ধতি

Ask the person to hold the E-Chart in front of them. If they cannot hold it easily, you can hold it for them.

The distance between the E-Chart and the person’s eyes should be about 40cm or a distance that is comfortable for them to hold the E-Chart to read.

Test both eyes at the same time (both eyes open).

1. Point to the row of 5 Es (simple near vision test Es). Ask the person to indicate the direction of the legs for each E in the row.

  • If the person correctly indicates the direction of 3 or more E’s, they do not require near vision spectacles.
  • If the person does not correctly indicate the direction of 3 or more Es, they may require near vision spectacles.

2. Record the results on the vision screen form.
