LogMAR charts have a number of advantages over Snellen charts and have become the gold standard method for assessing visual acuity. It takes an (atomic) vector with visual acuity entries as the only required argument. In order to calculate with qualitative entries counting fingers, The Snellen chart, which dates back to 1862, is also commonly used to estimate visual acuity. It can be rear or front illuminated. This calculator is intended as a convenient screener for visual acuity to be used on a mobile device and should not be used as a replacement for in-office testing.Evidence for smartphone apps for Snellen visual acuity is limited, and currently no app has been found to be accurate to within at least one line of formal visual acuity testing (and further validation is required). As you can imagine, a lot of those steps rely hugely on reasonable naming of your columns and this is what makes this function unfortunately a bit fragile. <>

In 1862, Snellen used a fractional notation in which the numerator indicated the actual viewing distance. Calculate from Logmar to Snellen. The formula to convert Snellen visual acuity measurements to approxETDRS letter scores is 85 + 50 x log (Snellen fraction), which may be rounded to the nearest letter. You can also decide to simply clean your VA vector with cleanVA(x). Donders diagnosed vision problems by asking people to look at a chart on a wall and tell him what they could see.
