Macular Degeneration - This is a deterioration of the center part of your retina or the area in the back of the eye that receives the images and sends information to the brain. There are many visual changes between ages 40-60, but after age 60 they become more severe. Presbyopia - Condition in which the lens of your eye changes and is less flexible, making it difficult to focus on objects that are near. We can easily treat astigmatism with proper contacts or eyewear.
This can cause eye strain, discomfort, headaches, blurred/distorted eyesight, night vision problems and more. This is also easily treatable just like myopia.Īstigmatism - The surface of the cornea or lens is not spherical, causing your eyes to focus at two separate points instead of one. A person can see objects clearly that are far away, but objects close to them are blurry. Nearsightedness affects about 30% of the population and is easily treated with contacts or glasses.įarsightedness - This is also known as hyperopia and is the opposite of nearsightedness. A person can see objects clearly when they are close to them, but objects at a distance will appear blurred. Nearsightedness - This is also known as myopia. 20/20 is generally the standard baseline with which most people are measured. It only means that you can see normal sharpness and clarity at a distance. We’d like to make a special note that having 20/20 vision does NOT mean that you have perfect eyesight. That means a person with 20/200 vision has to be 20 feet away from an object to see clearly, whereas a person with normal eyesight can see clearly at 200 feet away. When using an eye chart, you can see clearly at 20 feet away what a person with “normal” vision can see clearly at 10 feet away.Ģ0/200 - This is the level at which you are considered to be legally blind. The same goes for 20/80, 20/60 and so on when it comes to distance.Ģ0/10 - When the numbers go down, that indicates that you have better than average eyesight. That means you can see clearly 20 feet away from an object.Ģ0/100 - This is just an example, but those who have a vision type that is 20/100 would have to be 20 feet away from an object that most people can see at 100 feet. Let us discover what vision type you have today!Ģ0/20 - According to the American Optometric Association, this is normal visual acuity (clarity and sharpness) at a distance of 20 feet.
What is the best vision type and what is the worst? At Optical Masters, we perform comprehensive exams that help us keep your eyes healthy. Many of our patients have nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism or near-perfect eyesight. It is different in every single patient, but some visual conditions are quite common. A vision type can be as unique to a person as their personality or sense of style.
