Visual Acuity was measured using the Snellen eye chart at a distance of 6 meters. Acuity is expressed as a ratio of the test distance (6 M) / the distance the average eye can see the letters on a certain line of the eye chart. Visual acuity of 1 is normal; an individual with acuity of 0.5 could only recognize an object at half the distance compared to an individual with normal acuity.
