Printable PDF · 10-foot setup
Printable Snellen chart sized to print correctly.
This QuickAcuity download is calibrated for a real 10-foot setup on standard US Letter paper. It includes ruler checks so the page can be verified before use.
Preview shown is a low-resolution screenshot of the actual PDF. The download includes ruler checks, print-scale guidance, and setup instructions for a true 10-foot distance vision test.
Use checklist
- Mount the chart flat at eye level with bright, even lighting
- Measure exactly 10 feet (3.05 m) from viewer to chart
- Cover one eye without pressing on it
- Read the smallest line that can be seen reliably
- Treat the result as screening information, not a diagnosis
Why 10 feet
Because a true one-page 20-foot chart does not fit on home paper.
The PDF preserves the visual angle that matters for screening while staying practical to print. That is why the page is intentionally calibrated for 10 feet while keeping familiar 20/xx equivalent line labels.
Important
Verify print scale
A printable chart is only useful if the physical geometry is correct. The rulers are not decoration.
Boundary
Screening only
Sudden vision loss, eye pain, flashes, distortion, or new double vision still require professional evaluation.
