The Snellen chart is typically used by eye doctors to measure visual acuity. However, there are other terms for this popular tool. It is also called an eye chart, optotype chart, or visual acuity chart. Similar to the Snellen chart, there are other tests used for measuring visual acuity such as the Landolt C, the HOTV chart and the Sloan letters. These charts often use different symbols or letters to test the individual's vision. While the Snellen chart is widely recognized, it is important for doctors to have access to a variety of tests to ensure the most accurate measurement of visual acuity.
