What to Expect

Vision Charts

Above you will see two sets of pictures and one set of HOTV letters we use for testing with children that don’t yet recognize all of their letters. Regardless of whether we are testing with pictures or with HOTV the child can respond by matching rather than saying the names of the pictures or letters.

It would be helpful if you could practice with your child prior to his/her exam so that they will be more familiar with this testing when seen at the office.

If the child is unable or unwilling to say the names of the pictures or letters, print two copies of the pictures or HOTV letters and play our matching game. Practice with your child by pointing to a picture or letter on the sheet you are holding and have your child point to the matching one on the sheet that he/she is holding.

If the child can recognize and say the names of the letters or pictures, that is entirely permissible as well.
