Answers:
That is a measurement of your visual acuity!. The first number is usually always 20!. That means that the chart is 20 feet away from you!.
You said you are seeing 20/25 (which is almost perfect by the way)
This means that what a person with 20/20 (perfect) vision can see at 25 feet away!.!.!. you have to be 20 feet from the chart to see it!. Or for example: someone with 20/50 vision!.!.!. what a person with 20/20 (perfect) vision can see at 50 feet away!.!.!. they would need to stand 20 feet away to see it!.
So you have to be 5 feet closer to things to see it clearer like a person with perfect vision!. No big deal!.!. you have great vision!. No worriesWww@Answer-Health@Com

It is a measurement of how sharp your vision is!. If you have 20/25 vision, it means that when you stand 20 feet away from the eye chart you can see what a person with "normal" vision (20/20 vision) can see when they are standing 25 feet from the chart!.

If a person with 20/20 vision is standing 25 feet away from the chart and you (20/25 vision) are standing 20 feet away from the chart, the two of you will see the same detail!.

Your vision is not bad at all!. Some people with your vision might feel that everything is too intense with glasses on -- although glasses may benefit you for night driving!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it means you have better than perfect vision!. i had 20/30 at my peak!. that is almost unheard of!. you might be able to be a pilot, not many people can brag they have your kind of vision!. take care of your eyesWww@Answer-Health@Com

It means that you can clearly see an object when standing 20 feet away BUT someone with perfect vision can see that same object clearly 25 feet away!. 5ft difference!. No biggy!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Normal vision is 20/20!. It means you are ever so slightly near sighted!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

THE FIRST 20 IS HOW FAR YOUR STANDING FROM THE LINE AND THE SECOND NUMBER IS HOW FAR YOU CAN SEE!. SO YOU CAN SEE AT 25 FT WHAT SOMEONE CAN SEE AT 20 THE HIGHER THE NUMBER THE WORSE THE VISION!. FOR EXAMPLE I HAVE 20/13 VISION SO I CAN SEE AT 13 FEET WHAT PEOPLE SEE AT 20!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
