Frequently asked questions
Who is the Tumbling E Chart designed for?
The Graham-Field Illiterate/Tumbling E Eye Chart is a specialized tool engineered for non-verbal visual acuity assessment. It is the ideal chart for testing patients who cannot read standard letters or communicate verbally.
This includes:
- Illiterate patients or those unfamiliar with the Roman alphabet.
- Patients who are unable to speak (due to a language barrier or specific disability).
- Young children who have not yet learned to read.
The chart requires the patient only to indicate the direction the letter ‘E’ is pointing (up, down, left, or right), allowing for accurate and objective vision testing regardless of literacy or verbal skill.
What material is the eye chart made of?
The eye chart is made from durable plastic, ensuring longevity in clinical settings.
What are the available chart configurations?
The Graham-Field Tumbling E Eye Chart is available in two durable plastic configurations, allowing facilities to select the appropriate size and testing distance for their specific clinical environment. Both charts are constructed from durable plastic for longevity.
Here is a breakdown of the key configurations:
| Item/Model | Dimensions | Testing Distance | Mounting/Use Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Item 1241 | 22” x 11” | 20 feet | Features a brass eyelet reinforced hole for secure wall mounting. |
| Item 1262 | 14” x 9” | 10 feet (20-foot equivalent) | Designed for wall-mounting or insertion into an Illuminated Eye Test Cabinet. |
