A member asked:
Can you determine visual acuity by looking at prescription?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is not a direct relationship between Snellen acuity (like 20/20 or so) and the diopters printed on an eyeglass prescription which is the formula used by the optical shop to make your glasses.
