Three lines above, the letters have twice the dimensions of those on the 6/6 (or 20/20 in the US) line. The chart is at a distance of 6 metres (20 ft), but a person with normal acuity could be expected to read these letters at a distance of 12 metres (40 ft). This line is designated by the ratio 6/12 (or 20/40). If this is the smallest line a person can read, the person's acuity is "6/12 (20/40)," meaning in a very rough kind of way that this person needs to approach to a distance of 6 metres (20 ft) to read letters that a person with normal acuity could read at 12 metres (40 ft). In an even more approximate manner, this person could be said to have "half" the normal acuity.
At 6 metres (20 ft), the letters on the 6/6.0 (or 20/20) line should subtend 5 minutes of arc (such that the limbs of the letters subtend 1 minute of arc), which means that the chart should be sized such that these letters are 8.86 mm tall and the topmost (6/60 or 20/200) "E" should be 88.6 mm tall. Putting it another way, the eye should be at a distance 68.75 times the height of the top (6/60 or 20/200) letter.
