Visual acuity is about abstinent according to the admeasurement of belletrist beheld on a Snellen blueprint or the admeasurement of added symbols, such as Landolt Cs or Tumbling E.
In some countries, acuity is bidding as a barnyard fraction, and in some as a decimal number.
Using the bottom as a assemblage of measurement, (fractional) beheld acuity is bidding about to 20/20. Otherwise, application the metre, beheld acuity is bidding about to 6/6. For all intents and purposes, 6/6 eyes is agnate to 20/20. In the decimal system, the acuity is authentic as the alternate amount of the admeasurement of the gap (measured in arc minutes) of the aboriginal Landolt C that can be anxiously identified. A amount of 1.0 is according to 20/20.
LogMAR is addition frequently acclimated scale, bidding as the (decadic) logarithm of the minimum bend of resolution. LogMAR calibration converts the geometric arrangement of a acceptable blueprint to a beeline scale. It measures beheld acuity loss; absolute ethics announce eyes loss, while abrogating ethics denote accustomed or bigger beheld acuity. This calibration is rarely acclimated clinically; it is added frequently acclimated in statistical calculations because it provides a added accurate agnate for the acceptable analytic account of “lines lost” or “lines gained”, which is accurate alone if all accomplish amid curve are equal, which is not usually the case.
A beheld acuity of 20/20 is frequently declared as acceptation that a being can see detail from 20 anxiety (6.1 m) abroad the aforementioned as a being with accustomed apparition would see from 20 feet. If a being has a beheld acuity of 20/40, he is said to see detail from 20 anxiety (6.1 m) abroad the aforementioned as a being with accustomed apparition would see it from 40 anxiety (12 m) away.
It is accessible to accept eyes above to 20/20: the best acuity of the animal eye after beheld aids (such as binoculars) is about anticipation to be about 20/10 (6/3) however, contempo analysis capacity accept exceeded 20/8 vision.6 Some birds of prey, such as hawks, are believed to accept an acuity of about 20/2;7 in this respect, their eyes is abundant bigger than animal eyesight.
When beheld acuity is beneath the bigger optotype on the chart, the account ambit is bargain until the accommodating can apprehend it. Once the accommodating is able to apprehend the chart, the letter admeasurement and analysis ambit are noted. If the accommodating is clumsy to apprehend the blueprint at any distance, he or she is activated as follows:
Name Abbreviation Definition
Counting Fingers CF Ability to calculation fingers at a accustomed distance.
Hand Motion HM Ability to analyze a duke if it is affective or not in foreground of the patient's face.
Light Perception LP Ability to apperceive any light.
No Ablaze Perception NLP Inability to see any light. Total blindness.
Many bodies accept one eye that has above beheld acuity over the other.
edit Legal Definitions
Various countries accept authentic approved banned for poor beheld acuity that qualifies as a disability. For example, in Australia, the Social Security Act defines amaurosis as:
A being meets the belief for abiding amaurosis beneath area 95 of the Social Security Act if the adapted beheld acuity is beneath than 6/60 on the Snellen Calibration in both eyes or there is a aggregate of beheld defects consistent in the aforementioned amount of abiding beheld loss.
—Table 13, Schedule 1B, Social Security Act 1991
In the USA, the accordant federal statute defines amaurosis as follows:
The appellation "blindness" agency axial beheld acuity of 20/200 or beneath in the bigger eye with the use of a acclimation lens. An eye that is accompanied by a limitation in the fields of eyes such that the widest bore of the beheld acreage subtends an bend no greater than 20 degrees shall be advised for purposes in this branch as accepting a axial beheld acuity of 20/200 or less.

A person's beheld acuity is registered documenting the following: whether the analysis was for abroad or abreast vision, the eye(s) evaluated and whether antidotal lenses (i.e. glasses or acquaintance lenses) were used:
Ambit from the chart
D (distant) for the appraisal done at 20 anxiety (6.1 m).
N (near) for the appraisal done at 15.7 inches (40 cm).
Eye evaluated
OD (Latin oculus dexter) for the appropriate eye.
OS (Latin oculus sinister) for the larboard eye.
OU (Latin oculi uterque) for both eyes.
Usage of spectacles during the test
cc (Latin cum correctore) with correctors.
sc: (Latin sine correctore) after correctors.
Breach occluder
The abridgement PH is followed by the beheld acuity as abstinent with a breach occluder, which briefly corrects for refractive errors such as amaurosis or astigmatism.
So, abroad beheld acuity of 20/60 and 20/25 with breach in the appropriate eye will be:
DscOD 20/60 PH 20/25
Distant beheld acuity of calculation fingers and 20/50 with breach in the larboard eye will be:
DscOS CF PH 20/50
Near beheld acuity of 20/25 with breach actual at 20/25 in both eyes with spectacles will be:
NccOU 20/25 PH 20/25
"Dynamic beheld acuity" defines the adeptness of the eye to visually anticipate accomplished detail in a affective object.
