Since there are 5 letters per line, the total score for a line on the LogMAR chart represents a change of 0.1 log units. [1] Each line of the LogMAR chart comprises the same number of test letters (effectively standardizing the test across letter size); the letter size change from one line to the next is a constant ratio, as is the spacing between lines (making the chart easy to use at nonstandard viewing distances). if one of CF, HM, LP, PL, NLP, or NPL: Snellen fractions (meter/ feet) need to be entered as fraction with /.
