The Jaeger card is used to assess near vision problems and presbyopia in persons over 40 years of age.The card should be held 14 inches away from eyes while the patient reads words in various print sizes.Using a penlight to determine pupil change is testing pupil response.A short burst of air may be used to test intraocular pressure but is not used for testing presbyopia.Covering one eye at a time while reading a wall chart at 20 feet describes the Snellen test.
