According to the eye doctor i have about 20/30 vision. is that good?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often confusing!!: 20/30 means that 20 feet from the eye chart, your vision is as good as a normal person's standing 30 feet from the chart! a good rule of thumb is to use your vision measurement as a percentage of normal vision. So 20/30 would be 66%, 20/40 equal to 50%, 20/20 equal 100%, etc! so your vision is less than perfect! good idea to have it checked out!
