READING TEST TYPE CARDS

Text: The text used is interesting and in a modern prose form. It is not designed to test reading skill but rather to present an easy and subjective clinical test in accordance with the final recommendation of the Faculty of Ophthalmologists, London. The isolated test words will suit a wide range of patients with different reading abilities - including children.
