Introduction
Printable Snellen eye chart for home use to determine your visual acuity i.e.. 20/20 vision. If a person cannot achieve a visual acuity of 20/200 (6/60) or above in the better eye, even with the best possible glasses, then that person is considered legally blind in the United States. A person with a visual field narrower than 20 degrees also meets the definition of legally blind.
Definition
It is standard test for measuring distance acuity by using chart .

Step 3 Stand at the twenty foot line and cover your left eye, so you can only see out of your right eye. Starting from the top, read each row from left to right for as far down as you can still make out the letters. Note the last line on which you could correctly identify every letter. Have an assistant verify that you are reading the letters correctly. Step 4 Repeat the test with your left eye, covering your right eye this time. Note the last row you could read with complete accuracy. The row for each eye will not necessarily be the same
Step 5 Take note of the fraction shown to the left of each row: It identifies how your vision rates. For example, if you could read to the fifth line, you have 20/40 vision; if you could read to the seventh line, you have 20/25 vision. Step 6 Look at your results to determine the quality of your eyesight. For example, someone with 20/60 vision can read at 20 feet away what a person with normal vision could read at 60 feet away. In the United States, a score of 20/40 or better is required to drive a car without corrective lenses, vision of 20/200 or worse qualifies an individual as legally blind
