This is less intuitive than other VA notations. If the argument smallstep = TRUE, the entries will be converted to logmar values (0.02 logmar for each optotype). A more intuitive approach is presented here which uses the conversion of Snellen visual acuity fractions to Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter scores for statistical manipulations. ), logMAR and ETDRS. Either of character (for Snellen, snellendec, and qualitative), Ignored if the value should not be plausible. ETDRS must be integer-equivalent between 0 and 100 (integer equivalent means, it can also be a character vector), snellendec must be greater than 0 and smaller or equal to 2, Qualitative must be either of PL, LP, NLP, NPL, HM, CF (any case allowed), Any element which is implausible / not recognized will be converted to NA.

We successfully present an excel spreadsheet method to easily and efficiently convert Snellen visual acuity to LogMAR visual acuity. This may be a necessary data formal for specific questions. or "", "n/a" or " ". You can also decide to simply clean your VA vector with cleanVA(x). Pesky visual acuity notations are now a matter of the past. Snellen are unfortunately often entered with +/-, which is a violation of psychophysical methods designed to assign one (!) The findings suggest that caution must be taken when comparing clinical trial VA results with routine clinical outcomes. 1) hence reducing risk of transcription errors. If NULL (default), will simply "clean up" VA entries. Suprachoroidal injection of triamcinolone acetonide plus intravitreal bevacizumab in diabetic macular edema: a randomized pilot trial. It will look for VA and for IOP columns and provide the summary stats for the entire cohort and for right and left eyes for each VA and IOP variable. Therefore, Snellen matching the nearest ETDRS and logMAR value in However, back-conversion should not be <>
All told, 413 patients (773 eyes) met the inclusion criteria for this study. Please always check the result for plausibility. The authors declare no competing interests. <>

Purpose: The same outcomes (in Snellen fractions) were obtained with statistical manipulation of either approxETDRS letter scores or logMAR conversions. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9394(02)01825-1Beck et al., and

Please always keep a critical mind when working with data - if you do get results that seem implausible, there may be a chance that the data is in an unfortunate shape for which eye may not be suitable.

Reference values for these are customizable and can be left as CF, HM, LP and NLP (Appendix S1). You can get creative with your snellens. Depending a lot on how the data was entered, the results could become quite surprising.

Understanding the ETDRS Chart and Scale in Eye Examinations - EyeCharts The ESV-3000 is the only large-format standardized ETDRS testing device. 2020;43:21489. The formula to convert Snellen visual acuity measurements to approxETDRS letter scores is 85 + 50 log (Snellen fraction), which may be rounded to the nearest letter. blink() is more than just a wrapper around myop(), eyes(), va() and reveal(). notation. Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health): 104650. As for myop and of course blink, a specific column naming is required for a reliable automatic detection of patient and eye column(s) ( see Names and codes). ePd*D _@!(N|u!0!gL0F6?%='=N]baTcdCA?$wdEBjFOV{cP0 |1?28SjVH*5)y91M3z-wfr?X}wIt.,U3[,{x|.27w"FX`K K W;I D{c2drIDn?jokscrMjc-"Xv5Z3&p{-w/UnS200ue0 `8=e&"1w+8CE~2y'f%k>-$Ge;TGO^5EJ}bEBn>b%;-+k7,

Yet, I believe that the approach is still better than just omitting the letters or (worse) assigning a missing value to those entries. See also Examples.

Would you like email updates of new search results? The Snellen visual acuity (VA) chart is routinely used in clinical practice, while that developed in the Early Treatment Diabetes Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) is the gold standard for ophthalmic clinical trials. The term LogMAR is an acronym for the Logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution. For example, eight columns that store data of four variables for right and left eyes will be pivoted to 5 columns (one eye column and four further variable columns)).
Cleans and converts visual acuity notations (classes) Any fractions allowed. %
The cols argument takes a tidyselection. Will find the eye column, unify the codes for the eyes (all to r and l) and pivot the columns wide, that have been specified in cols. Zero LogMAR indicates standard vision, positive values indicates poor vision, and negative values indicates good vision. eyestr was designed with the use in rmarkdown in mind, most explicitly for the use inline.
