Hi guys...

Could you check out the Snellen FAQ on the FAQ (surprisingly) section and post back here if you have any queries or want to add to the FAQ!

Thanks!!

YAY!!! At last a FAQ that i DID understand first time!! LOL!! But maybe that was because i just covered this with my presentation and wall display in work, hehe sometimes studying does pay off! :lol:

Thanks for that but sadly i couldn't get the text to work, but i think that that was probably my pc as it needs a little adjusting!

Thanks for that!...and that was quick!.

Only thing I would add..is to list the 20/20 - 6/6, 20/40 / 6/9 side by side?....like a snapshot view.....so that those wanting a direct translation and dont want to do the conversion can quickly see what the equivalent of 20/60 is in UK terms (metres)

Yes i agree! Am thinking that as patients and forums go, we are going to be a very highly educated and pro active bunch of people!! LOL!! :wink:

Also yes i think it would be a good idea to add the 6/6 in as that is what we use!

Thanks Guys :)

Conversion list is up - also a reference to driving test standard.

Anything else that should be on there?
