Frequently asked questions

Why must I print the chart at 100 percent?

Letter size is calibrated for the viewing distance. Scaling the page changes the angle and makes the result wrong.

How do I check the print size is correct?

Measure the scale bar or a marked line on the printed page with a ruler. If it does not match, adjust your printer settings and print again.

No. It is only a rough home check. Have an eye test with an optometrist if your vision seems to have changed.
