AAMA CMA Practice Question

A 45-year-old patient arrives for a routine check-up and reports no previous issues with vision. While updating the patient's medical records, you notice it has been three years since their last recorded visual acuity test. The clinic's standard procedure employs a Snellen chart for vision screenings. How should you proceed to assess the patient's distance vision according to best practices?

  • Position the patient 20 feet from the Snellen chart and ask them to cover one eye at a time to read the smallest line of letters they can see clearly.

  • Place the patient 10 feet from the Snellen chart and instruct them to read the chart with both eyes open simultaneously.

  • Using a pocket vision card, have the patient hold the card at arm's length and read the smallest line of print available.

  • Ask the patient to remain seated at the desk and bring the Snellen chart within 5 feet for convenience as the patient previously reported no vision issues.
