Question 61
The E eye chart (Snellen chart) is a standard tool in ophthalmology to measure how well a person can see at a distance, which is called visual acuity. It is not used to measure only farsightedness, only glaucoma, or only nearsightedness, as it assesses overall visual sharpness.
In medical terminology, "myopic" refers to a condition where a person can see near objects clearly but has difficulty seeing distant objects, which is nearsightedness. "Cross eyed" is strabismus (esotropia), "wall eyed" is exotropia, and "farsighted" is hyperopic.
