a

cycl/deg = (20/Snellen denominator) × 30.

b

Subnormal vision, low vision excluded. Snellen equivalent for 30 cycl/deg is 6/6 or 20/20.

c

Low vision ≤ 10 cycl/deg. Snellen equivalent for 10 cycl/deg is 6/18 or 20/30.

d

Age dependent cut-off value for subnormal vision: 20 cycl/deg (Snellen equivalent 6/9) for age < 4y6m; <30 cycl/deg (Snellen equivalent < 6/6) for older children. Low vision excluded.
