The chart was designed by Ian Bailey [5] and Jan E. Lovie-Kitchin at the National Vision Research Institute of Australia. [1] [3] They described their motivation for designing the LogMAR chart as follows: "We have designed a series of near vision charts in which the typeface, size progression, size range, number of words per row and spacings were chosen in an endeavour to achieve a ...
Chart and optotype dimensions in millimeters precisely as specified by Ferris et al. (1982). LogMAR and VAR values after Baliey & Lovie (2013). Note: meters/feet not a direct conversion, but rather in Snellen equivalents (1 meter = 5 feet).
Near visual acuity or near vision is a measure of how clearly a person can see nearby small objects or letters.Visual acuity in general usually refers clarity of distance vision, and is measured using eye charts like Snellen chart, LogMAR chart etc. Near vision is usually measured and recorded using a printed hand-held card containing different sized paragraphs, words, letters or symbols.
The MNREAD chart consists of sentences with print size decreasing by 0.1 log unit steps, from 1.3 logMAR (Snellen equivalent 20/400 at 40 cm) to −0.5 logMAR (Snellen equivalent 20/6). [4] Charts are available in many languages. It allows near visual acuity recording in logMAR notation, Snellen notation or M-units. [5]

Sloan letters, designed by Louise Sloan in 1959, are a set of optotypes used to test visual acuity generally used in Snellen charts and logMAR charts. This set of optotypes consists of ten specially formed "letters", C, D, H, K, N, O, R, S, V and Z. [ 1 ] These letters, unlike the ones used in older Snellen charts, are designed to give acuity ...
5. Excess Cash. Walking around with a fat wallet of cash feels good, but if you lose your wallet, the odds of keeping your green aren’t good. Besides, if you’re out and about and a potential ...
A Snellen chart is an eye chart that can be used to measure visual acuity. Snellen charts are named after the Dutch ophthalmologist Herman Snellen who developed the chart in 1862 as a measurement tool for the acuity formula developed by his professor Franciscus Cornelius Donders .
