- Visual Acuity Converter (Snellen / logMAR / Decimal) gives you a fast estimate using your inputs and updates instantly when you change any value.
- Formula: Decimal = 20 ÷ denom; logMAR = log₁₀(denom ÷ 20); Metric = denom × 0.3
- Input definitions: • Snellen Denominator (20/__ ): the numeric snellen denominator (20/__ ) used in the calculation
- Enter values using the units shown next to each input field (e.g. kg, cm, years).
- This calculator uses widely accepted health formulas and returns screening estimates only. It does not replace a diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional.
- Compare your result with published reference ranges. Values outside the normal range warrant a conversation with your doctor.
- Practical tip: test a low, medium, and high scenario to understand sensitivity before making decisions.
Example Calculation
Inputs
- Snellen Denominator (20/__ ): 40 ft
Suppose you enter: Snellen Denominator (20/__ ) = 40. The calculator applies the formula (Decimal = 20 ÷ denom; logMAR = log₁₀(denom ÷ 20); Metric = denom × 0.3) and shows all output values below. Change any input field to immediately see how the result changes.
