View of a Snellen eye test chart
Snellen eye test chart. View of a Snellen eye test chart used for measuring visual acuity. A patient stands a set distance (usually six metres) from the chart, and covers one eye before reading as far down the chart as they can. The letters decrease in size lower down the chart. If they are unable to read a sufficient amount of the chart, lenses of different strengths are used until their vision is sharp enough to allow recognition of the smallest letters. In conjunction with other visual tests, this test allows the diagnosis of eye disorders such as long- and shortsightedness (hypermetropia and myopia). These disorders can be corrected with spectacles or contact lenses

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a close-up view of a Snellen eye test chart, an essential tool used to measure visual acuity. In the image, a patient stands at the prescribed distance from the chart, typically six meters, and covers one eye before attempting to read as far down the chart as possible. As we move lower on the chart, the letters gradually decrease in size. The purpose of this test is to evaluate an individual's vision capabilities. If someone struggles to read a significant portion of the chart, lenses with varying strengths are employed until their vision becomes sharp enough for them to recognize even the smallest letters. By combining this examination with other visual tests, medical professionals can diagnose various eye disorders such as long- and shortsightedness (hypermetropia and myopia). These conditions can be effectively corrected using spectacles or contact lenses. This still life photograph not only showcases vital diagnostic equipment but also emphasizes its significance in healthcare. It highlights how ophthalmologists rely on precise techniques like these to identify potential issues that may lead to impaired vision or blindness if left untreated. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this moment through their lens, providing us with insight into the world of ophthalmology and emphasizing its crucial role in maintaining optimal eye health.
