I'm gonna save this one, and if I do find it verified in any medical books, etc., will send you a message about it. Thanks for sharing!

If the patient could see anything at all (I had one today where the patient could see 20/1760), then the MD would have given the value, but when there is nothing there, you just type nothing. I have a verbatim account, but even if I didn't, I still would not change it to 20/0 as that lone "0" could be mistaken as something else.
