Only thing I can think of is to require use by people without disabilities
(20/20 vision) from a distance of 7 feet from the display. It is not the
same as 20/70 but we don't really have something better that is quantifiable
that I have heard of.
It is what 20/70 literally means.
Anyone heard of a better method?
