Fun Fact Friday
20/20 vision doesn’t mean “perfect” vision.
20/20 vision is a term used to express normal visual acuity, or the clarity and sharpness of vision, measured at a distance of 20 feet.
If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100 vision, you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet.
But vision is more than clarity. Depth perception, color vision, and focusing ability all contribute to overall sight.
That’s why regular, comprehensive eye exams are so important. Find an AOA doctor today!
