                                | Purpose: | 
                                    To compare the visual responses of post refractive surgery's patients using ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study Chart) and E-chart with and without Color filters |  
                                | Methods: | 
                                    The Log MAR VA (Logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution Visual Acuity) of 70 patients with the mean age of 26.2±3.76 years (from 19-34 years) who had undergone PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy eye surgery) (the range of post operation refractive error: ±0.5 D) was measured under the light conditions of with and without asymmetrical glare by using red, green, and yellow filters and ETDRS and E-chart |  
                                | Results: | 
                                    In both light conditions of  with and without glare, the mean visual acuity of  the three filters in right and left eyes was significantly better with the E-chart versus the ETDRS (P<0.0001). Only in the glare light condition, the mean visual acuity of the left eye showed no significant difference between the two charts using the red filter (P=0.30 |  
                                | Conclusion: | 
                                    The better visual responses in different light conditions and visual adaptation with the E-chart versus the EDTRS chart can be due to better estimation of their direction by Persian speaking persons. these two charts cannot be used interchangeably |
