A member asked:

Is there a huge difference between a 1.0 or 6/6 vision and a 0.8 vision ? and why do i have a 0.8 even with my glasses, like my doctor told me ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. Richard Bensinger answered

Modest difference: What you have said is that the glasses have not changed the vision. This could represent some pathology of the eyes or an incorrect refraction. Recheck with your eye doctor.
