What is the term for the letters that are often the most used to measure visual acuity?

  1. Jaeger

  2. Snellen

  3. Toric

  4. Zonules

The correct answer is: Snellen

Visual acuity refers to the clarity or sharpness of one's vision, which is often tested using the Snellen chart. The letters on this chart are standardized and are arranged in a specific way to measure a person's ability to see detail. Option A, Jaeger, refers to a type of font size used in reading materials and is not related to visual acuity. Option C, Toric, refers to a type of contact lens used to correct astigmatism and is also not related to visual acuity. Option D, Zonules, refers to the suspensory ligaments in the eye and is not connected to measuring visual acuity. Therefore, option B, Snellen, is the correct term for the letters used to measure visual acuity.
