Convert Snellen 20/x denominators to MAR values using MAR = Snellen denominator ÷ 20. The formula is MAR = Snellen denominator ÷ 20; 1 20/x is 0.05 MAR.
The denominator from a 20-foot Snellen visual acuity fraction, such as 40 in 20/40.
Minimum angle of resolution, the reciprocal of decimal visual acuity.
Start with your value in Snellen 20/x denominators, then apply the formula below. It stays visible so you can catch rounding mistakes instead of just copying the output.
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.
| Snellen 20/x denominators | MAR values |
|---|---|
| 10 20/x | 0.5 MAR |
| 15 20/x | 0.75 MAR |
| 20 20/x | 1 MAR |
| 25 20/x | 1.25 MAR |
| 40 20/x | 2 MAR |
| 80 20/x | 4 MAR |
| 200 20/x | 10 MAR |
