Near vision charts should be held how many inches from the eye?

  1. 8-10

  2. 10-12

  3. 12-14

  4. 14-16

The correct answer is: 14-16

Near vision charts should be held approximately 14-16 inches from the eye. This distance is known as the reading distance and is important for accurate assessment of near vision acuity. Holding the chart too close or too far away can lead to inaccurate results. It is crucial to follow standardized protocols to ensure reliable near vision testing.
