    Logmar Chart

    The LogMAR chart is used to measure visual acuity based on the Minimum Angle of Resolution, which is the smallest angle at which a person can see detail clearly. Each letter on the LogMAR chart subtends a different visual angle, with the 6/6 line subtending 1 second of arc. Scores on the LogMAR chart are calculated by assigning a value of 0.02 log units to each letter and summing the values of all correctly identified letters, with each line representing a 0.1 log unit change in visual acuity.

    Logmar chart

    MAR=Minimum Angle of Resolution -the angle subtended within the eye by a letter How does LogMAR relate to Snellen?

    Letter on 6/6 line subtends an angle of 5 seconds of arc; each limb subtends 1 second of arc Minimum Angle of Resolution for a 6/6 letter is 1 second of arc. -the log of the MAR for a 6/6 size letter is 0

    Scoring LogMAR

    Each letter has a score value of 0.02 log units;5 letters per line Each line represents a change of 0.1 log units Final score based precisely on total of all letters read

    LogMAR / Snellen equivalent results
