When people hear they have a 20/20 vision, they
understand that they have a perfect vision. They pride themselves and reassure
you that they don't have to wear glasses or contact lenses.
Unfortunately a 20/20 vision does not mean having a
"perfect vision". When the optometrist tells you that you have
"20/20 vision", he/she is referring to the visual acuity, which is
the clarity or sharpness of your vision. This number indicates that you can see
objects clearly at a distance of 20 feet, compared to others.
Don’t worry! We can make that concept 2020: The year
of the perfect vision a reality.
