Textbook definition of 20/20 vision:
The ability to distinguish an image that subtends 5 minutes of arc at a 20 foot distance.
The numerator of 20/20 defines the testing distance of the person being tested and the denominator defines the testing distance that a person with “20/20” vision would have to stand in order to see the same sized letters.
Definition of legal blindness in the US:
If someone has 20/200 vision or less in the better seeing eye (with a corrective lens) or has less than 20 degrees of visual field, then they are considered legally blind.

At your last eye exam, an optometrist or another eye care professional likely completed an eye test where they measured your visual acuity by completing the snellen test or reading the snellen chart. If you were fortunate enough, your vision corrected to at least the 20/20 line. But what is 20/20 vision? What does 20/20 vision mean? Check out this video to find out.

@lolerie 2 жыл бұрын

That is because they do not have perfect vision. Most refractometers only have 0.25 resolution, so anything below 0.25 is not visable. For example I have -4.12 sphere and -4.87 cylender om my right eye which is further rounded on those meters. Also glasses cannot be done with this in mind. There is also keratometers that allow to see the astigmatism components.

When his children were born, he was practically breathing down the nurses necks making sure they weren't given too much oxygen. I've always wondered about that whole ordeal.

This is like what happened to my mom as a newborn, in an incubator, but it may have been heat rather than too much oxygen, or was both. She has that on top of genetic eye issues. I seem to have inherited genetic issues. My mom is vague on what her actual eye issues are, like if severe myopia, if bad floaters, and so on. She had cataract surgery and still has issues. She had a retinal detachment about 10-11 years ago. I had one 2 years ago.

Doctor Eye, I want to ask you something that's been puzzling me on this test. I noticed that this type of test is done in a dark room with a lit screen. But on a dark room the iris of the eye is opening, letting more light in. One's cornea may not be constant in shape and it can distort if the iris is more open, because light is entering the eye on a much wider area through cornea. But if there is a lot of light (like in a sunny day), light enters through a narrower hole in the eye and maybe it doesn't affect the part of the cornea where you may have problems. So, why is the tests concluded in the dark? Will glasses work the same in the dark and in the light?

Some tests are dark room tests such as Ophthalmoscope examination. Visual Acuity tests are however done with full illumination.

As a kid (I am 28 now), my vision was 20/10 left and 20/15 right. Since my last couple months in the military my vision degraded and I finally got seen for it about 18 months ago. I found out I have keratoconus, and now my vision is 20/200 in both eyes, over the course of about the last 4 years. I am "20/40" in both eyes but that doesnt account for the fact my eyes were dilated during the test and I still have the starburst effect. I just got fitted with scleral lenses on wednesday and I am so excited. They got me to 20/20 on the first iteration and didnt expect to ever get me to 20/20. Thanks for your videos

With eye exams, are they always aiming to get 20/20 or higher, or do you simply aim for a certain spot? When switching through the discs in the eye thingie, once it reaches one type of spot. Once the person says yes, they usually stop. Wondering if all examiners go for a generalization, or if you simply know there is nothing more you can do with glasses alone. Thoughts and answers are much appreciated! Thanks.

@DoctorEyeHealth 4 жыл бұрын

Great question Michael. We do aim to get at least 20/20. IF a person cannot read 20/20 with optical correction alone, we search for a medical reason why (cataracts, retinal disease, corneal disease, neurological problems etc). During the refraction process, it is best to not "overprescribe" so it is generally accepted to give the least amount of minus power needed to read the 20/20 line. However, that is a bit of an oversimplification. There are several endpoints to be considered with a final prescription.

I can see line 20 on the chart in my glasses but can only barely make out the the face of someone a few feet in front of me. As a result I still feel like I can't see all that well with my glasses (being unable to make out things the average person can see) should I be using stronger lenses?

Seeing is a privilege sometimes. Need not be 20/20 but just seeing. Ain't it Sir?

seeing is indeed a privilege. Even if you have just a little bit of vision.

I have decent vision out of both eyes invidually but my binocular vision is poor (convergence insufficiency). Would I count as having 20/20 vision?

Wow I can’t see the big E without my glasses. I do have a question I have been wearing glasses since kindergarten, but what I want to know is when they ask you how far down you can see does that mean completely clear or with slight blurriness around the edges? I can make out of the letters but sometimes they have a blurry edge so should I count that as seeing clearly or should I go for the line above it?

I have no idea what my field of vision is without my glasses. I never thought to ask. All I know is I'm short sighted with an astigmatism. But there's one thing that is concerning me. That thing is the lid cleaning regime for blepharitis. I've recently learnt of a condition called Erythema Ab Igne. It's a skin condition caused by chronic exposure to infrared radiation in the form of heat. It can also be caused by everyday use of heat packs. I've heard it can possibly lead to cancer. And one of the steps in blepharitis care is the use of hot compresses or heat packs on the eyes to liquefy the plugged up oils in the meibomian glands. I'm wondering is there anyway to care for eyes that suffer from blepharitis without having to use heat? I'd be grateful for your thoughts on the subject. Is there any new treatments on the horizon for blepharitis? 👀☮️⚛️

I went to the eye Dr This past weekend and I just found out that I have double astigmatism. I’ve had it in my left eye since I was 12. I didn’t even know that you could develop an astigmatism in both eyes.

Question for Doctor Eye Health: Does taking these eye supplements like Ocuvite, or Vitamin A, etc., actually help with eyesight? Thanks.

@DoctorEyeHealth 4 жыл бұрын

Most eye vitamins out there are designed to slow down the rate of macular degeneration, a disease that many people get when they get over the age of 50. Major studies on these vitamins concluded that there was only a significant benefit when already diagnosed with an intermediate stage of the disease. However, other smaller studies have shown benefits to vitamin supplementation to improve contrast sensitivity, glare reduction and delaying/slowing down AMD....however, small studies and prescribing supplements for people without intermediate stage stage AMD is not wide spread practice. Based on the studies I have read I do personally take and Eye vitamin and even if it could be a placebo, I feel better when I take them.

@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you very much for the reply! I have no immediate eye problems but I do take Ocuvite senior as I'm almost 55. I sometimes take vitamin A but have read too much can be more harmful than beneficial. PS. Subscribed.

Dave Hayter my eye doctor always recomends do check and make sure products like ocuvite dont have high levels of zinc because new studies have shown that high levels of zinc can lead to Alzheimers/dementia! Just Passing on some knowledge😀

I don't think it's "legal blindness" vs "illegal blindness", but rather: being "literary blind" vs being "effectively blind" - the latter is what's meant with being "legally blind". I had my eyes tested 3 months ago and the eye doctor stopped at 20/20 even though I was in fact able to read the line below it as well...
