A member asked:
My eyeglasses prescription is -8.00. what's a best guess at my snellen visual acuity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
With or without : It depends if you are corrected without any other eye issues then you probably can see 20/20. You cannot see snellen chart without correction therefore there is no measure for it. You probably can see near card at 4-6inches without correction.
