Which of the following is NOT an example of near acuity cards?

• A. Snellen near test card
• B. game/numeral card, lighthouse near visual acuity test, UNC near vision test, Runge near vision card, continuous test card
• C. Lighthouse near visual acuity test
• D. Runge near vision card

Answer: (A)

Near acuity testing uses tools designed specifically for close viewing, typically around 40 cm, to measure how well someone can resolve letters or symbols at a near distance. The familiar Snellen chart, by contrast, is a distance chart used to assess vision at far away (often 6 meters or 20 feet). While there are distance-to-near adaptations in some settings, a Snellen near test card is not a standard or widely used near-vision card in vision rehabilitation.

The other options are established near acuity tools: the Lighthouse near visual acuity test, Runge near vision card, UNC near vision test, continuous test card, and game/numeral card are all designed for near-vision assessment with stimuli presented at or appropriate for close viewing. Because the Snellen near test card does not fit this common near-vision testing category, it is the item that is not an example of near acuity cards.
