Which of the following are examples of near acuity cards?

• A. Snellen near test card, distance chart
• B. Lighthouse near vision test, Runge near vision card
• C. continuous test card
• D. game/numeral card, lighthouse near visual acuity test, University of North Carolina near vision test, Runge near vision card, continuous test card

Answer: (D)

Near acuity cards are designed to measure how well someone can see at close distances, typically around 40 cm, using smaller print or symbols than a distance chart. The set that includes game/numeral cards, Lighthouse near visual acuity test, University of North Carolina near vision test, Runge near vision card, and a continuous test card covers the range of commonly used near-vision tools. Each item is purpose-built for near tasks, including pediatric-friendly formats (game/numeral), standardized near charts (UNC and Runge), a popular instrument (Lighthouse), and a progressive near task format (continuous test card). The other options mix items that aren’t standard near-vision cards—for example, distance-based charts or terms that aren’t recognized near-vision tools—so they don’t represent the typical repertoire of near acuity assessments as a group.
