Signs and Tests
A nearsighted person can easily read the Jaeger eye chart (the chart for near reading), but has trouble reading the Snellen eye chart (the chart for distance).
A general eye examination, or standard ophthalmic exam may include:
Eye pressure measurement (See: Tonometry)
Refraction test, to determine the correct prescription for glasses
Retinal examination
Slit-lamp exam of the structures at the front of the eyes
Test of color vision, to look for possible color blindness
Tests of the muscles that move the eyes
Visual acuity, both at a distance (Snellen), and close up (Jaeger)
