How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the Snellen Numerator — the test distance in feet (typically 20 for US charts, 6 for metric).
- Enter the Snellen Denominator — the smallest line the patient reads (e.g., 20 for 20/20, 40 for 20/40).
- The calculator instantly converts to Decimal Acuity, LogMAR, MAR (Minimum Angle of Resolution), and the metric 6/x equivalent.
- LogMAR 0.0 = 20/20 (normal); positive LogMAR values indicate reduced acuity.
- Use these conversions when comparing results across clinical studies, visual acuity charts, or international records.
