That's the same as 0.8 right? And full visual acuity would then be
25/25? Or 100/100 etc if you prefer that. Or just 1.0


20/20 is, as I understand it, perfect vision. Mine is 20/400 in

the
right eye uncorrected, corrected to 20/15. left is somewhat worse,

but
corrected to 20/15 also. Or it used to be, these days I am probably

more
20/20 or slightly worse. Plus they have to correct for the bad

astigmatism I
have in both eyes.


If the numerator is always 20, what does this 20 mean? Is 20/20 in
some way different from, say, 25/25 or.30/30?
