Abstract
This review aims at uncovering certain aspects of the historical evolution of a subject that is so familiar that we rarely stop to think about its background. That subject is Visual Acuity Measurement. The history will show how innovative ideas that were ignored when first proposed were eagerly adopted when they were reintroduced later. It will also show the role of vision rehabilitation in preparing the way for the current standards.
