Well, I may be wrong, but we have Snellen chart, lower case (except in the title) on this page, which you'd expect to be right, and here, used generically. The "E" clearly should be capped, since it refers to the first cap in the chart itself. Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased.

The article claims that, "This chart is useful for patients who are unable to read the Latin alphabet". This is not the only use for it. Some patients have seen the Snellen chart so many times that reading it will involve some level of recognition of letter sequences (though not necessarily deliberate recall), which distorts the result of the measurement. The E chart is less likely to linger in memory and is therefore also used as an alternative to the Snellen chart. (Unfortunately, I don't have any references for this. The risk of memory effects is implicit it this discussion.) --ChristopheS (talk) 15:57, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
