Visual acuity (VA) commonly refers to the clarity of vision. Visual Acuity is dependent on optical and neural factors, i.e., (i) the sharpness of the retinal focus within the eye, (ii) the health and functioning of the retina, and (iii) the sensitivity of the interpretative faculty of the brain.
A common cause of low visual acuity is refractive error (ametropia), or errors in how the light is refracted in the eyeball. Causes of refractive errors include aberrations in the shape of the eyeball, the shape of the cornea, and reduced flexibility of the lens. In the case of pseudomyopia, the aberrations are caused by muscle spasms. Too high or too low refractive error (in relation to the length of the eyeball) is the cause of nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia) (normal refractive status is referred to as emmetropia). Other optical causes are astigmatism or more complex corneal irregularities. These anomalies can mostly be corrected by optical means (such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, laser surgery, etc.).
"20/20 Vision" is the forty-seventh episode and the twelfth episode of the third season (1988–89) of the television series The Twilight Zone.
Opening narration
Plot
Opening time, ten o'clock at the local farmers bank. Sandy, a teller, is at the door, letting the customers in. When business starts to pick up, Mr. Warren Cribbens, an officer in the bank, is called into the bank manager, Mr. Cutler's, office. He tells Cribbens how efficient and hard-working he is. He offers Cribbens a promotion to bank loan officer. Cribbens is apprehensive about this change and feels he isn't cut out for that particular position, but Cutler doesn't pay attention to him.
When Cribbens leaves Cutler's office, Sandy bumps into him and accidentally steps on his glasses and cracks them. After a blowup on the phone with a defaulted loan, Cribbens looks through his cracked glasses and sees a teller accidentally drop a large denomination bill into a trash can. When he tells her about it, they look and see nothing, but later, she does drop the bill and thanks him for noticing. He then is told to foreclose on any mortgages that are outstanding and can't pay. But when he looks at the unfortunate people through his cracked glasses, he sees their desperate, hopeless future—which will happen if he goes through with the foreclosures. He tries to help but nothing seems to work out.

Nurses learn how to assess a patient's ability to read and compare that to a normal average adult. Using the Snellen chart, nurses will position their patients 20 feet away from the chart and instruct them through a variety of tests where both the right and left eyes are assessed separately and then both together to determine the patient's visual acuity.
There are many reasons why a patient will need a visual acuity exam completed. There may be complaints of irritation or signs of infection, injury, or declining function. This is a baseline exam that may result in a referral to an optometrist or ophthalmologist for further assessment.
Understanding how the Snellen chart is graded will help nurses accurately educate and document their findings.
In this video, we discuss how to set up your Snellen chart, patient education, and instruction for administering the exam and assigning a value and documentation.

Visual acuity (VA) commonly refers to the clarity of vision. Visual Acuity is dependent on optical and neural factors, i.e., (i) the sharpness of the retinal focus within the eye, (ii) the health and functioning of the retina, and (iii) the sensitivity of the interpretative faculty of the brain.
A common cause of low visual acuity is refractive error (ametropia), or errors in how the light is refracted in the eyeball. Causes of refractive errors include aberrations in the shape of the eyeball, the shape of the cornea, and reduced flexibility of the lens. In the case of pseudomyopia, the aberrations are caused by muscle spasms. Too high or too low refractive error (in relation to the length of the eyeball) is the cause of nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia) (normal refractive status is referred to as emmetropia). Other optical causes are astigmatism or more complex corneal irregularities. These anomalies can mostly be corrected by optical means (such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, laser surgery, etc.).
