The invention provides a chair special for vision detection. The chair special for vision detection comprises a chair body, a base, a lifting mechanism, a lifting control switch, a measuring rod, a pillow supporting mechanism and an infrared distance measurement sensor. The lifting mechanism is installed on the base and connected with the chair body; the lifting control switch is connected with the lifting mechanism; the measuring rod is installed on the chair body; the pillow supporting mechanism is installed on the measuring rod or the chair body, and can move along the measuring rod when being stressed; a reference mark is arranged on the pillow supporting mechanism, and the reference mark and an eye of a vision detection person are located on the same horizontal line; scales are arranged on the measuring rod in the vertical direction and used for measuring the distance between the reference mark and the ground when the chair body is located at an appointed height position; the infrared distance measurement sensor is used for measuring and displaying the distance between the chair body and the base. According to the chair special for vision detection, the eye of the vision detection person and different detected visual targets can be kept on the same horizontal plane by lifting the pillow supporting mechanism accordingly, and the accuracy of vision detection is increased.
