Optotipos. El término proviene de dos palabras griegas: optós, que significa «visible o relativo a la visión» y typós, que significa «marca». Es decir, literalmente: «marca visible». [...] En su diseño se tienen en cuenta los principios fisiológicos de la AV [agudeza visual]. La figura está compuesta por varios rasgos, cada uno de los cuales debe subtender un ángulo determinado a una distancia dada. 1, record 1, Spanish, - optotipo
