Also question is, what line on an eye chart is 20 40?
If this is the smallest line a person can read, the person's acuity is "6/12" ("20/40"), meaning that this person needs to approach to a distance of 6 metres (20 ft) to read letters that a person with normal acuity could read at 12 metres (39 ft).
Also Know, what is perfect eyesight? The term, as most of us are familiar with, 20/20 vision is synonymous with “perfect vision”. For example, if you have 20/100 vision, you see what someone with 20/20 vision can see at 100 feet. That being said, having 20/20 vision does not mean you have perfect vision.
People also ask, what is considered poor eyesight?
20/30 to 20/60, this is considered mild vision loss, or near-normal vision. 20/70 to 20/160, this is considered moderate visual impairment, or moderate low vision. No light perception, this is considered total visual impairment, or total blindness.
