What chart style is pictured?

• A. Feinbloom
• B. Bailey-Lovie
• C. ETDRS
• D. Snellen

Answer: (A)

This item tests recognizing chart styles by the optotypes used and how the chart is laid out. The pictured chart matches a Feinbloom style because it uses numeric symbols rather than letters. Feinbloom charts were designed for acuity testing in contexts where letters aren’t practical—common in vision rehabilitation and for individuals who may have limited literacy—so digits are the primary optotypes and the overall design is distinct from letter-based charts. Bailey-Lovie and ETDRS charts are specifically letter-based, arranged with standardized logMAR progression and five-letter lines, often using Sloan-type letters for ETDRS. Snellen is the classic letter chart as well, with lines of letters and a traditional Snellen arrangement. Because the image shows numerals instead of letters, it aligns with Feinbloom rather than the letter-based options.
