Question: 1 / 400

During an eye examination using the Snellen's eye chart, the patient should?

Close both eyes

Keep both eyes open but cover one of them

During an eye examination using the Snellen's eye chart, the patient should keep both eyes open but cover one of them. This is because covering one eye allows the patient to focus solely on the chart without any distractions or interference from the other eye. This helps to accurately determine their visual acuity. Closing both eyes (option A) would prevent the patient from reading the chart at all and keeping both eyes open without covering any (option C) may lead to conflicting and inaccurate results. Blinking rapidly before reading (option D) can also cause blurred vision and affect the accuracy of the results. Therefore, option B is the correct answer for an eye examination using the Snellen's eye chart.
