The test-retest variability of the charts was similar, with the 95% tolerance limit for change being +/-0.14 logMAR for ETDRS, +/-0.16 for reduced logMAR and +/-0.18 for Snellen.

The formula to convert Snellen visual acuity measurements to approxETDRS letter scores is 85 + 50 x log (Snellen fraction), which may be rounded to the nearest letter. The cluster of optotypes as row space decreased would produce the crowding phenomenon, which has been shown to cause inaccurate acuity measurements. Charts with the Snellen E and the Landolt C (Precision Vision) which mimic the ETDRS charts were used to assess visual acuity. <> Therefore, we recommend the following for data entry in excel. Although there seems to be no good statistical reason to convert Must be atomic. The score was further modified by adding/subtracting 0.02 logMAR to converted values for letters correctly/incorrectly identified on previous/next line.

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.

A more intuitive approach is presented here which uses the conversion of Snellen visual acuity fractions to Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter scores for statistical manipulations. The "ETDRS" chart is another vision chart that is often used for ophthalmic studies as it is easy to convert the letters on this chart for statistical values to help better understand published results. Each class can be converted from one to another. The Bailey-Lovie chart was also designed to be scored in logMAR units, making it easier to convert results based upon various viewing distances. The mean and range of testing times were: ETDRS 34.65 (9.38-80.18) seconds, cRLM 21.17 (5-40) seconds, Snellen 18.67 (3-35.56) seconds.
