Have tried to download the zip version here:
http://www.i-see.org/random_snellen/random_snellen.html

But found it to be an invalid archive :-)

Anyone have a working copy of this?

TIA

Online charts arent accurate unless you print them out. Here is a great
one:

Just figure one out...a 20/20 E subtends an angle of 5 minutes of one
degree at 20 feet away. A 20/40 E subtends 5 minutes of arc at 40
feet, etc. This means that the 20/60 letter will be 3 times the size
of the 20/20 letter. For small angles the sine of theta is theta.
Don't forget to use radians. It is not a valid test if it is closer
than 20 feet because refraction begins to enter into the equation.

Or to make it clear:

20/20 means 0.9 cm letters at 6 meters

20/40 means 1.9 cm letters at 6 meters.

etc.

Or to make it clear:

20/20 means 0.9 cm letters at 6 meters

Or 6 x 0.0015 = 0.009 meters

(Approximately)

20/40 means 1.8 cm letters at 6 meters.

etc.

Or Gary, if that fails, just use the
neat Random Snellen on my site:

www.myopiafore.com

As eye-chart 2 (IVAC)

Very easy to use -- and you
can not memorize the letters.

Best,

Dear Gary,

Subject: Substitute Random Snellen.

There is an easy-to-use Snellen
on my site (IVAC) as
eye-chart 2, on the lower
right side.

www.myopiafree.com

Hope that meets your requirement.

I would simply advise that you *strenuously* avoid the book that he's
selling on that site.

At $24.95 for 129 pages, or 19 cents per page, that's very expensive
toilet paper.

Take care,
Neil

Oh geeez, here he said he didn't make any money from his website.

Hmmm, maybe I need to post after each one of his posts to avoid the
spammer.

Ohhhh, no. He's still in the business:

http://www.i-see.org/otis_brown/

I think he advertises it on his site, too.

I felt better when I thought he was just insane. Now I realize he's just
in it for money.

I think this is worse....

Thanks for the replies, however I did contact the site owner and the zip
archive has now been fixed :-)
