Visual Angle

degrees 0.0573 θ = 2 · arctan(s / 2d)
arcminutes 3.4377 arcmin = deg × 60
arcseconds 206.2648 arcsec = deg × 3600
radians 0.001000 rad = deg × π / 180

Visual Acuity

Converting to visual acuity assumes that feature size refers to the smallest visible detail. This is based on the formula for resolution acuity, a slightly different metric to recognition acuity.

logMAR 0.5363 logMAR = log₁₀(arcmin)
Snellen (metric) 6/21 6 / (6 × arcmin)
Snellen (imperial) 20/69 20 / (20 × arcmin)
