Color Vision Test
• About 8% of males and less than 1% of females are born with an inherited type of color blindness, known as "red - green" color blindness
• There are many varieties and degrees of color blindness, and this color vision test only pertains to the most common type, the inherited “red - green” type of color blindness.
• When taking this test, look for a number or object in each figure. Missing a few of the numbers may be normal, but missing most of them may indicate a vision problem. See your optometrist.

Distance Vision Test• Give the test in good light. Place the eye chart upright
on a wall; the testing distance should be measured exactly (10 feet, or as determined below).
• Stand at the testing distance & cover one eye at a time. • The lowest line that can be read correctly is the visual
acuity for that eye. – Note: since only the 20/20, 20/40, 20/100, and
20/200 lines are represented, a person's visual acuity could fall between the levels represented.
• For example, if the 20/40 line could be read, but not the 20/20 line, the vision is at least 20/40, but could also be 20/30 or 20/25.)
• For variation, the chart can be turned upside-down, or sideways.

Keys to Success• Choose/tailor lessons based upon
available sessions, student need/interest/aptitude/learning styles, how well lessons complement other curricula
• Keep sessions interactive/hands-on• Incorporate health care professionals as
guest facilitators/speakers– Hospital, community health care center,
medical school staff, residents, & graduate students; school nurses
