Hold a news paper article at arm's length, close one eye and see if you can read it clearly. Then, close the other eye (opening the one that was originally closed) and read it again. If you can read it clearly your eye sight is 20/20.

Get tested if in doubt. Your eyesight is too precious to mess with.



What is 20/20 Vision?

You may be pleased to hear that you have 20/20 vision and think you
have perfect vision. But do you?

Not necessarily. 20/20 only indicates how sharp or clear your vision is at
a distance. Overall vision also includes peripheral awareness or side
vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focusing ability and color
vision.

20/20 describes normal visual clarity or sharpness measured at a distance
of 20 feet from an object. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at
20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100
vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person
with 20/20 vision can see at 100 feet.
