The Keeler Jaeger Reading Test is a widely used tool in optometry and ophthalmology for assessing near vision acuity. This test is essential for diagnosing and monitoring conditions that affect a patient’s ability to read and see objects up close.

A doctor may hold the chart at a specific distance from a patient’s eyes and ask him to read the passage with the smallest type size they can see. Another way to use the chart is to move it forward and back until the patient can read a specific type size.
