Sr No Topic Discription
1 Catagory Pediatric Opthalmology
2 Material While I couldn’t find a very detailed material composition (e.g. exact paper stock, lamination), these charts are generally printed on durable, foldable board / heavy cardstock / laminated material so they survive repeated use.
3 Test Distance Recommended for use at 10 feet (≈3 meters).
4  Dimensions Unfolded size: approx 17″ × 21″ (≈ 43 cm × 53.4 cm), Folded: about 17″ × 10.5″ (≈ 43 cm × 26.7 cm), Foldable for easy transport / storage
5 How to use for Detects visual acuity in infants, children, and non-verbal
6 Logarithmic / Proportional Spacing & Size Range The lines are proportionally spaced in logMAR / ETDRS format., Line sizes range from 20/200 (6/60) for the largest (top) line to 20/8 (6/2.4) for the smallest (bottom), On the reverse side (Massachusetts Visual Acuity Format) it has a “50% spaced rectangle” version with line sizes from about 20/100 to 20/8 (6/30 to 6/2.4) equivalent.
7 Purpose Designed for screening or testing distance visual acuity in young children (starting age about 2½ to 3 years,  Useful in vision therapy, pediatrics, schools, or clinics to assess recognition acuity, amblyopia detection, monitoring progress
8 Durability While I couldn’t find a very detailed material composition (e.g. exact paper stock, lamination), these charts are generally printed on durable, foldable board / heavy cardstock / laminated material so they survive repeated use., The foldable design reduces wear during storage / transport

15 Limitations Measures detection (not recognition) acuity; needs proper setup and lighting
16 Limitations / Practical Considerations Requires adequate ambient lighting and correct setup (vertical, mounted at eye level) for accurate readings. (Standard for any acuity chart.) (From clinical manuals),Younger children (under ~30 months) may have lower cooperation, so results might be less reliable or require additional encouragement
17 Accuracy & Standards The proportional spacing (ETDRS/logMAR) means consistent scaling of visual acuity steps. This gives more precise measurement than some older non-log spaced charts., It has been validated in research: e.g. studies comparing Lea symbols vs Landolt C, showing good applicability in young children and good sensitivity for amblyopia
18 Included Accessories / Supporting Materials Includes response key and instructions,  Some versions include flash cards
19 Mounting / Display Features Has a hole for hanging on a wall
20 Optotype Design (LEA Symbols) Consists of four symbols: a house, an apple, a circle, and a square. The symbols are “crowded” (i.e. surrounded by other symbols / adjacent symbols) to make the test more sensitive (especially for amblyopia).
