For a thorough check go to your optometrist nearby.
Yes.
Although you can check your eyesight at home your measurement is likely to be approximate.
Yes you can, but it is not a substitute for an eye exam. Your distance vision can be checked, by printing out an eye chart, taping it to the wall and standing back the appropriate distance away from it, most are for 10 or 20 feet. But it has to be printed correctly. Then if you read a 20 foot letter, not 20 feet high its called a 20 foot letter, at 20 feet you see 20/20, if you read a 10 foot letter at 10 feet, it is 10/10 which is 20/20. If you read a 20 foot letter at 10 feet then it is 10/20 or 20/40. Top number is the testing distance, and the bottom is the calibrated letter. Bottom line, just because you may see 20/20 with each eye . real does not tell you if the eyes are healthy, work together properly or any of the other concerns. So consider going for an exam. Thats what is best for you.
It’s not accurate
