Question 1 - Definitions Visual Acuity Visual acuity is a test used to determine the smallest letters a person can read on a standardized chart (Snellen chart) or a card held 14 – 20 feet away. This test may be done in a health care provider’s office‚ a school‚ a workplace‚ or elsewhere. Visual acuity is expressed as a fraction. • The top number refers to the distance you stand from the chart. This is usually 20 feet. • The bottom number indicates the distance at which a person with normal

The senses transmit sensory information’s‚ in the form of electrochemical impulses‚ to the brain. Different forms of energy stimulate the sensory receptors – the nerve endings and cells that detect sensory information. The sensory receptors then initiate neural impulses. Sensation occurs when the neural impulses arrive at the cerebral cortex. Neural impulses that begin in the optic nerve are sent to the visual areas of the cerebral cortex‚ and we see objects. Each person’s unique perception results
