A member asked:
Is being able to read line 8 on the snellen eye chart a rare ability?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It depends on the size of the print on "line 8" and the distance from the chart. It is common for people to read the 20/15 equivalent, and not unusual to read 20/12, but the limit is probably about 20/10.
