How to convert logMAR values to MAR values
Visual acuity conversions compare Snellen, decimal acuity, MAR, and logMAR notation used in chart references and research.

Start with your value in logMAR values, then apply the formula below. It stays visible so you can catch rounding mistakes instead of just copying the output.

Formula
MAR = 10^logMAR

Use these values for notation comparison and documentation checks only. They do not diagnose vision problems or replace an eye exam.

Visual acuity notation is often rounded to chart lines, so the converted numeric value may be more precise than the original measurement. This page displays converted values with up to 3 decimal places by default.

FAQs
These answers use the same formula as the converter above.
How do I convert logMAR values to MAR values?

Enter the value in logMAR values and apply MAR = 10^logMAR. Round the MAR values result after the conversion, not before.

What is 1 logMAR value in MAR values?

1 logMAR equals 10 MAR with the current rounding setting. Keep more decimal places when the result feeds another calculation.

What is -0.3 logMAR in MAR?

-0.3 logMAR is 0.501 MAR. It appears in the lookup table so you can compare it with nearby amounts.

Can I convert MAR values back to logMAR values?

Yes. Use the reverse MAR values to LogMAR values converter if you need to go the other direction.

How accurate is this logMAR values to MAR values conversion?

The calculator runs the formula in your browser and rounds results to 3 decimal places by default. Visual acuity notation is often rounded to chart lines, so the converted numeric value may be more precise than the original measurement.
