Required Visual Acuity Standards - otis - 01-07-2008

I know we ALL want very, VERY sharp vision. That is the goal.

But some compromise must be understood.

If a child is 20/60, then he needs to "improve" to
a reasonable level of 20/40 or better.

The LEGAL standard around the world is 20/40 or
better (both eyes open). Here is
the statement of this standard for your interest.

So if you confirm your Snellen at 20/40, there is no
LEGAL reason to wear a minus. Smile

I do not state this as the FINAL step, only
the intermediate step, of working towards
20/20.

Best,

Otis

What is your current visual acuity? ???

Do not trust anyone to check this -- do it yourself.

Just click on the above, and then "Display".
