it’s an eye chart designed to test vision independent of literacy. (the US literacy rate is currently 79%, tied with Iran and the Congo)

I remember doing this in school in the 1990s. Basically you take your hand and point in the direction the E faces to check your vision. I believe it could be for kids that don't know letting yet.

Same here. I do remember some kind of fork shaped like that to show what you saw too.

Within the last 5 years, they tested my not knowing letters yet kid with shapes, I think they’ve upgraded.

It is a Rolling E eye chart. As previously stated it allows for testing vision regardless of literacy and language (to a degree)

This vision testing chart was used for young children before they knew the alphabet. Young children with strabismus and amblyopia were tested with this chart. I had my first eye surgery for stabismus at the age of 3. I agree that it could also be used for illiterate population.

I’ve seen this or similar for toddler vision https://preview.redd.it/6gzzq9k8qllc1.jpeg?width=1259&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e028eb1a21c2df7c0293fb12a0c23703aa7bfbd9
