What is standard vision?4
20/20 vision is generally considered to be standard. This does not mean perfect vision, it denotes average vision. A person with 20/20 vision can see objects clearly at 20 feet (6 meters) away.
Below-standard vision ranges from 20/200 to the near-standard 20/25. A person with 20/25 vision can see objects clearly at 20 feet (6 meters) which the average person would be able to see clearly at 25 feet (7.5 meters).
Meanwhile, individuals with 20/15 or 20/13 vision would be considered to have above-standard vision. With 20/15 vision, a person can see at 20 feet (6 meters) what a person with average vision would only be able to see at 15 feet (4.5 meters).
After treatment with wavelight® plus, you can achieve better -than-standard vision.3*
