There are instances where the first few A systematic review of the interrelations of urban form and mode choice in African cities students who undergo this diagnostic system, memorize the letter sequence of the Snellen letter chart and convey the same to other fellow students.Hence other students simply read out the Snellen letter sequence from their memory, not by looking at the Snellen letter chart.Thus there is a need of randomizing the sequence of letters being displayed on the Snellen letter chart for every student to be diagnosed for eye testing.Conclusion: In the present paper we are proposing a customizable, Competencias y Aprendizaje-Servicio mediante actividad física en futuros docentes de inglés (Competences and Physical Activity -based Service-Learning of future Primary School English teachers) software based, cost effective solution which involves a standard personal computer (PC) fitted with a camera, headphone and speaker system.The envisaged system can be administered even by the trained persons.
