A Snellen score of 6/6 (20/20), indicating that an observer can resolve details as small as 1 minute of visual angle, corresponds to a LogMAR of 0 (since the base-10 logarithm of 1 is 0); a Snellen score of 6/12 (20/40), indicating an observer can resolve details as small as 2 minutes of visual angle, corresponds to a LogMAR of 0.3 (since the base-10 logarithm of 2 is near-approximately 0.3), and so on. in Snellen. eCollection 2023. Mean value for Snellen Visual Acuity was 0.043 and that of ETDRS was 0.02365 LogMAR. However, just as all original technology does, there came a point when the Snellen chart needed reform. The formula to convert Snellen visual acuity measurements to approxETDRS letter scores is 85 + 50 log (Snellen fraction), which may be rounded to the nearest letter.

The conversion of Snellen data to logMAR can also be misleading as the abstract and results sections of papers that use this process sometimes give the impression that data have been collected using logMAR charts suggesting the data are more reliable that they actually are.
