1. What are the procedures for the 2023 military service eye exam in Vietnam?
According to Chapter IV Appendix 1 issued with Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP regulating eye examinations for military service in 2023,
Number 1: Eyesight: Eyesight is the basic standard to evaluate the vision of each eye. To measure eyesight accurately, it is required:
- Professional staff: Must directly instruct how to read and proceed according to prescribed techniques. Pay attention to detect cases where readers are dishonest or do not know how to read according to instructions.
- Right vision board:
+ Black letters, white background, rows 7/10 to 8/10 must be hung at eye level.
+ Sufficient light level needed for reading (about 400–700 lux) to avoid any phenomenon that causes glare, whether too bright or bright in the reader's eyes or too dark affecting the reader's vision.
+ The distance between the board and the reader's standing position is 5m.
+ The reader must cover one eye with a piece of cardboard (not with the hand), and when reading, both eyes must be open (one eye is open behind the cover).
+ The person measuring uses a stick to point under each word. The reader must finish reading that word in less than 10 seconds. For rows 8/10, 9/10, and 10/10, each row can only be read 1 letter wrong to calculate the result of that row.
- How to calculate the total visual acuity of both eyes: if the visual acuity is higher than 10/10, it is still only counted as 10/10.
For example: if the right eye is 12/10 and the left eye is 5/10, then the total vision of both eyes is 15/10.
When calculating total visual acuity for classification, pay attention to the visual acuity of the right eye. The left eye's vision cannot compensate for the right eye, but the right eye's vision remains within the prescribed standards.
