Snellen fraction

Snellen fraction

A representation of visual acuity in the form of a fraction (e.g. 6/6 (20/20), 6/24 (20/80), etc.) in which the numerator is the testing distance, usually expressed in metres (or in feet), and the denominator is the distance at which the smallest Snellen letter read by the eye has an angular size of 5 minutes. See near visual acuity; visual acuity; decimal visual acuity.
