Designer Glasses Retailer America's Best Explains What 20/20 Means

    NORCROSS, GA, September 04, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Eye care retailer America's Best would like to explain what it means to have 20/20 vision. It is a very common phrase used all the time to define "good" vision, but you might be surprised to learn the actual definition.

The term 20/20 is one developed by optometrists who have examined a lot of data on human vision. It refers to what a "normal" (normal meaning average) should be able to see when standing twenty feet away from an eye chart. In a person who deviates from this average, the number will be different. For those with better than average vision, the second number will be lower than twenty. Those that have vision that is worse than average will have a second number that is higher than twenty.

For example, if a person that has 20/40 vision were to stand twenty feet away from an eye chart, they would see what most people could see standing forty feet away. Or, if a person that has 20/10 vision did the same, they could see what most people could only view at ten feet away.

"The fact that such a broad range of vision exists is what makes regular eye exams and getting the right prescription glasses so critical," explains Dr. Grace Kim, Chairperson for the Clinical Advisory Panel of America's Best. "It can make your life a lot easier to at least be able to see as well as the average person!"

At America's Best, you can find out what type of vision you have and whether or not a pair of prescription glasses could have you seeing the world a lot more clearly. Independent eye doctors practice inside America's Best locations across the country offering a free eye exam with the purchase of two pairs of glasses. At America's Best, you will find a wide variety of discount designer glasses, so finding two pairs that you like will be easy.
