How do you read a Sloan chart?

If Sloan letters chart has lines that split into 2 charts/column: The left column is for screening the right eye. When child is reading a full line of the left column, child reads left to right. The right column is for screening the left eye.

What is Sloan chart?

Sloan letters, designed by Louise Sloan in 1959, are a set of optotypes used to test visual acuity generally used in Snellen charts and logMAR charts.

What is the difference between Sloan and Snellen?

The major differences between the Snellen and Sloan eye charts lie in the optotypes themselves. Snellen optotypes use bold, larger lettering with serifs—the smaller strokes attached to the ends of a letter symbol. Sloan optotypes don’t utilize serifs; rather, they use a more modern design and font.

Is LogMAR more accurate than Snellen?

The average difference between Snellen and ETDRS charts for all tested eyes was 0.13 ± 0.18 logMAR or 6.5 letters better on the ETDRS chart at 4 meters (P = . 000000001) and 0.16 ± 0.18 logMAR or 8 letters better on the ETDRS chart at 2 meters (P = . 000000001).

What is a Lea chart?

#250150. This non-translucent LEA chart is the original distance chart for kindergarten children (#250150) designed in 1976 and printed first in Finland and since early 1990s in the USA. They are used in vision screening and in assessment of visual functioning in numerous countries.

Are all eye doctors charts the same?

Numerous types of eye charts exist and are used in various situations. For example, the Snellen chart is designed for use at 6 meters or 20 feet, and is thus appropriate for testing distance vision, while the ETDRS chart is designed for use at 4 meters.

What does LogMAR 0.3 mean?

An observer who can resolve details as small as 1 minute of visual angle scores LogMAR 0, since the base-10 logarithm of 1 is 0; an observer who can resolve details as small as 2 minutes of visual angle (i.e., reduced acuity) scores LogMAR 0.3, since the base-10 logarithm of 2 is near-approximately 0.3; and so on.

What is a good logMAR score?

The World Health Organization established criteria for low vision using the LogMAR scale. Low vision is defined as a best-corrected visual acuity worse than 0.5 LogMAR but equal or better than 1.3 LogMAR in the better eye. Blindness is defined as a best-corrected visual acuity worse than 1.3 LogMAR.

What is a normal logMAR?

Normal (6/6 or 20/20) vision equates to 0.0LogMAR (see conversion table below). There are two types of visual acuity. 1. Threshold visual acuity. Meaning a measure of the smallest black / white detail that can be seen.

What is Bailey Lovie chart?

The Bailey-Lovie chart features a stringent logarithmic progression of optotypes. The key advantages of the logarithmic layout are: All line-to-line steps are equal and increase or decrease by the same factor (the factor equals 1.2589 and is derived from 10√10).
