For 6/6 = 1.0 acuity, the size of a letter on the Snellen chart or Landolt C chart is a visual angle of 5 arc minutes (1 arc min = 1/60 of a degree), which is a 43 point font at 20 feet. [10] By the design of a typical optotype (like a Snellen E or a Landolt C), the critical gap that needs to be resolved is 1/5 this value, i.e., 1 arc min.
The World Health Organization classifies [1] [2] people with low vision as follows: 1. 6/18 (20/60) [0.5] to 6/60 (20/200) [1.0] 2. 6/60 (20/200) [1.0] to 3/60 (20/400) [1.3] 3. 3/60 (20/400) [1.3] to 1/60 (20/1200) [1.8] readings from left to right are in metres, feet and LogMAR values
The vision of infants under one month of age ranges from 6/240 to 6/60 (20/800 to 20/200). [4] By two months, visual acuity improves to 6/45 (20/150). By four months, acuity improves by a factor of 2 – calculated to be 6/18 (20/60) vision. As the infant grows, the acuity reaches the healthy adult standard of 6/6 (20/20) at six months. [5]
