However, visual acuity measurements expressed as logMAR units are not intuitively interpretable by clinicians. The chart was developed at the National Vision Research Institute of Australia in 1976, and is designed to enable a more accurate estimate of acuity than do other charts (e.g., the Snellen chart). If there still are variables spread over two columns for right and left eyes, then this is an example of messy data. - https://doi.org/10.1167/iovs.05-0981 Either of character (for Snellen, snellendec, and qualitative), in Snellen.

Vector with visual acuity entries. Calling va() without specifying the to argument will simply clean the visual acuity entries - any notations will be accepted, no plausibility checks yet performed. PubMed Central We converted all the Snellen visual acuities to logMAR visual acuities. It will remove duplicate rows, and pivot the eye variable to one column and generate a single column for each variable, thus shaping the data for specific types of analysis. Conversion of Snellen visual acuity fractions to approxETDRS letter scores for the purpose of performing statistical manipulations provides more readily interpretable outcomes compared with the current strategy of converting Snellen visual acuity fractions to logMAR units.

Out of convenience, data is often entered in a wide format: In eye research, there will be often two columns for the same variable, one column for each eye.
