Hi, that is a great question. In grade 4, I personally memorized the chart so I could avoid glasses, but I was busted when they swapped out for a different chart. What I will do if I suspect it is jump around and point to letters here and there. Finally, if I really suspect it, I might ask them to be checked by an optometrist, who will have a variety of charts, including projected ones, that can't be memorized. However, usually, I'm dealing with someone who has some sort of eye problem. They want to see and have any problems taken care of. So, I'm not usually caring for someone who is trying to avoid glasses or otherwise minimize any problems with vision. DK

This is a great question. If you suspect it, swap it out for a different chart. If you don't have one, then maybe the best option is to refer to an optometrist who will have all sorts of cheat-proof ways to check visual acuity. The great thing with having a physical chart is you as the clinician DO memorize it, which means you can look at the patient while they are reading it, and make sure they are doing it correctly (such as making sure they are fully covering the eye, etc.). Thanks! DK

There are rondo mixed digital charts. Useful for some applications, but not as essential as you would think

Have them repeat it backwards

Congrats new LPN

Dear Okoli, wow, this is very generous feedback. I am beyond thrilled to learn how this has helped you and, by extension, your work with students with visual impairments. This is why I love open-access learning resources: they go out into the world and can have good and unforeseen impact. Also, this is good affirmation of my style: to explain why things are or why we do them a certain way and not just demonstrate. Can you subscribe to me, and then I'll try to email you directly to learn more. Take care!

Yay! I'm delighted to hear this!

Lmao Jungkook is jungshook in the thumbnail 😂😂💜

I'm 20/400

You chose the wrong path. Now tell me your latest prescription -1 or -2 or -3. Bro still have time. dont follow these fucking culprits optometrists. You can reverse your myopia .

@@Ethane077 how? How can we improve myopia

I can read the 10th letter stuffs in each eye but my right eye missed 1 letter

Hi, glad that you liked it! DK

Hi, wow, that is pretty keen! DK

Nice. Ophthalmic Technician is a great job, that is always short-staffed

Great!

Nice pun! Thanks for the feedback! DK

Hi, in the video I have tried to explain things, just just tell them at the viewer. So, thanks! DK

This is great to hear!

This is great feedback - thanks!

Could you please confirm the font size of those letters on the white paper in cm/mm?

You have a gift of explaining concepts.

This is helpful feedback! Thanks, dk

@@dkcalgary how much distance I must have to see it ?

Asked how do I figure out what readers from Walmart I would be. . I am home bound,

great!

dkcalgary I can read 20/15 but cannot read 20/100

dkcalgary what does that means

The Duos Gamer wait. So you can completely read a smaller row. But cannot read the row above it (a larger row)? Well my friend, there’s only one explanation.... One explanation indeed.. WITCH!!! 🧹✨

Christopher what about u?

You're welcome!

me tooooo I rmb they did an eye checkup at my school and I lied to the ppl and said I couldn’t see any of the letters and they sent a little home to my mother telling them I need to go to an eye doctor to get a checkup and my mother told them I can see and stuff bc she knew I was lying but they told her she needed to go so I went and I ended up getting glasses and now I wear glasses and I’m blind 🥲

Hi, glad you liked it! DK

People will squint, so you score what they can see. DK

Hi, thanks and Nice pun! DK

Its Rizl Lol if you have bad eyesight but good memory, you're good xD

then you miss the whole point of this test

Well, I suppose you can enjoy further macular degeneration. ;)

Its Rizl ok

I did that in 5th grade and avoided glasses I have been lucky cuz I’ve been told I needed them for a month now and I just continue to sit in the front of the room and the nurses bad memory

You are so welcome!

Great questions! You can do 10 feet and then ensure you adjust (so if someone read the 20/10 line perfectly at 10 feet, it would become 20/20). Eye clinics will have fancy mirrors set up to give a longer distance too. The numbers on the right are so you can say, "Can you read line 8?" I find because they are on the right side, it is not intuitive for anyone.

That's exactly what I was trained to do as well.

Wow! THIS is a prestigious endorsement- thanks!

... I'm seeing this video so I can reverse my myopia! I hope you can tell your patients they can reverse it if they want to! 😃

Things are more nuanced with astigmatism (I have it too). That's beyond me. But I'm glad this video explained how and why for the big topics. Take care, DK

lol your comment made me laugh :)

:) I think you should drop by your health professional to get tested, though. Take care, DK

sometimes it looks like a D

Last time I tested it actually, I could only read the second one

@@drakesayshi3321 I almost cant read the top E. The eye doctor was like, holy shit.

I’m a medical assistant too!

Great! Thanks!

+Kay Will Go "Zed"!

Im from carribbean too

I'm from Zambia and i say Zed too

I think there is much lacking in the manner in which eye exams are conducted, a travesty in this, the 21st century.

I'm delighted to be of service! Thanks, David

Thanks! dk

Hi, this is good feedback. The key gap I try to fill is explaining WHY different bits of medicine are done the way they are. Some people like that extra context, some don't.

HI, you are very welcome! DK

Happy to help!

To anyone seeing this: I checked a little on the internet and yes, the "EMI Snellen Chart" is supposed to be used at a distance of 20 feet (6 meters)

@@woke657 how many steps for that

@@woke657 yes but the chart would have been a lot bigger in person

Ideally no blurriness, but you score them based on what they answer, blurry or not. If someone needs glasses, an optometrist would try to get them to the right level of correction without over-shooting.

legally blind seriousley.

Worse than 20/250

Wow Arianni! Thanks very much!

Hi, this video just explains the process; it's great that you're going to get check out. DK

im goining today-

@@desirod_15 rip

@@desirod_15 ive done it,got 7/10

@@meandmyfriend7762 I got a 200- but my glasses come in soon and i cant wait :D

Hi, I think you should get checked by an eye health professional. Take care and best wishes.

You're welcome! dk

good luck! - dk

Bobby Urkevich some people really don’t wanna get glasses like kids usually can avoid it

Yup. As a kid, I didn't want glasses and cheated in Grade 2 or 3.

I know people who did the opposite because they wanted glasses... Yeah I don’t get it either

@@dkcalgary Hi Doctor, quick question. What does “hand motion” mean for a sight diagnosis? I was expecting to see 20/20 or 20/200 or numbers the doctor said this is the official way to describe if you are unable to see even the worst case numbers. But I can’t find any reference to “hand motion” in any eyesight medical documentation.

You are most welcome

HI, make sure you get checked out. DK

My both eyes also cannot see farish away but when i go to doctor he took my eye test and i answr it clearly but still i cannot see thing from far away

Same I get bad headaches and eye aches plus I can’t see at night

Same in my right eye.

My right eye is near sighted and my left is far sighted

You should follow up with your optometrist. Perhaps the prescription is too strong. Take care

That can happen. Anytime I suspect it, I get them to do things like, "can you read line 3 backwards for me". DK

You're very welcome! Take care

😬😬

I went to the eye doctor today and with my left eye I could only see the E and last time I could see the third line. My right eye is unchanged though

Oh noo... keratoconus?

Hi, you may be fine, but depending on your line of work/study, it might make sense to get formally checked. Take care, DK

Hi - in fact, that's why this video was made! Our clinic had hired some new medical assistants, and because of my emergency background, I was asked to teach them this stuff. Great! Next year, we had some more hires and was asked to teach again, so I thought, "This is a great time for a teaching video!" And the rest is history - the most viewed visual acuity video on youtube, as far as I can see. (See what I did there?) :) DK

Lol

Resolute Films hes american, hes just a damn hippie

American or canadian. Sounds like he has a bitof accent

TWrecks He's Canadian... I think...

The "zed" comes from the Greek word "zeta" which is a more accurate name for the letter. It's only called "zee" in the US because the guy who wrote the alphabet song wanted it to rhyme lol

Hi, now I know where Zed comes from. Awesome! thanks, DK

Hi, generally, I report the score for each eye, then report the score from when the patient does the chart with both eyes open. So it would be something like: R: 20/20 L: 20/30 Bilateral (both): 20/20-1

@@dkcalgaryI just saw your response today. That's interesting. I'm pretty much blind in one eye abd beed a strong prescription for my good eye.

I'm sorry to hear this, but pleased that it sounds like you have good professionals taking good care of you.

My left eye im pretty sure with eyeglasses is 20/20 but my right may be 20/30

I don’t think 20/30 I bad but it best to read below the red line
