Interviewer instructions
Interviewer to read: We are now going to test your distance and near vision.
INTERVIEWER: Invite the respondent to sit again - in a chair positioned so that the respondent's head will be 4 meters from the eye chart. Make sure the person does not lean in closer to the chart during the test. To measure acuity in the left eye, the right eye is covered with right palm or an eye patch and the subject is asked to respond to each “E” in a row slowly, letter by letter, with your guidance. Only one reading of a given “E” is allowed. When the subject has difficulty, he or she is encouraged to guess. Responses can be verbal (Up, Down, Left, Right) or the respondent can indicate with a finger. The right eye can then be tested in the same way.
Distance Vision
INTERVIEWER: Start with the distance vision chart - using the 4 meters. If the respondent makes two errors or more in one row, the result is read as the previous row.
Interviewer read: We will start with your distance vision - and with your left eye. Would you please cover your right eye with the palm of your right hand. Please read
