How do LEA Symbols® differ from traditional charts for assessing visual acuity of young children?
A. LEA Symbols® provide a more consistent and reliable way to measure children’s visual acuity. Young children are familiar with the LEA Symbols® (circle, square, house, apple) and are less likely to guess incorrectly using these charts. Children often get anxious and confused when they are pressured to respond without knowing the correct answer. LEA Symbols® charts come complete with symbol flash cards and a response key to ensure the child is comfortable with the symbols being used before vision testing even begins.
