For the correct(ie, change in a uniform step on a logarithmic scale).1 3 The accepted step size has been chosen to be logaverage Visual acuity , the geometric mean must be used,unit, which is equivalent to letter sizes changing by awhich gives significantly different values than the arith-factor of between lines. This standard gave risemetic the logMAR (logarithm of the minimum angle ofThe simplest method for computing the proper aver-resolution) notation as shown in Table 1, column 3.
