About our vision screenings

Our interactive self-check offers seven simple vision screenings you can try at home: visual acuity, astigmatism, light sensitivity, near vision, color vision, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) awareness. These screenings have no diagnostic value and are not a substitute for a professional examination.

Early detection of vision problems can help prevent permanent vision loss. To check the health of your eyes, we encourage you to see a qualified eye care professional for a complete examination. You can locate an ophthalmologist in your area using the American Academy of Ophthalmology's directory: Find an Eye Doctor.
