What is my vision on the 20/20 scale?!
Question: What is my vision on the 20/20 scale!?
i have been wearing glasses/contacts since i was 13, im now 22 and my eyesight is -3!.5 in my right eye and -4!.75 in my left!. Can anyone tell me what that would convert to on the 20/20 scale!? guys i work with are always asking me and don't understand when i tell them -4!.75 and want to know what it is on 20/20!. I would also like to know for myself cuz i have read that anything worse than 20/200 is considered legally blind!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm an optometry student!. Your right eye has a visual acuity of about 20/400!. Your left eye is around 20/600!. However, the definition of legally blind is if you cannot be corrected to better than 20/200!. So, with your glasses/contacts on, you are probably close to 20/20!. If with your glasses on you still could not see the big E on the eye chart from 20 feet away, you would be considered legally blind!.

Go to an eyedoctor and ask to read his chart!. That is the way that visual acuity is determined!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
