Mida tähendab 20/20 nägemisteravus?

20/20 nägemisteravus (Euroopas 1,0 ehk 100%) tähendab, et inimene näeb 20 jala kaugusel selgelt optotüüpe, mida normaalse nägemisega inimene peakski nägema 20 jala kauguselt.

Kas nägemine saab olla parem kui 100%?

Jah, nägemisteravus võib olla üle 100%. Näiteks 20/10 nägemine tähendab, et inimene näeb 20 jala kauguselt objekte, mida normaalse nägemisega inimene näeb vaid 10 jala kauguselt.

Mis on Snelleni tabel?

Snelleni tabel on klassikaline nägemisteravuse tabel, mis asetatakse silmauuringute käigus 20 jala ehk 6 meetri kaugusele uuritavast.

Vision above 100%: how visual acuity is measured You may have heard someone say that their vision is 120% or 150%. But what does this actually mean, and how is visual acuity measured? Visual acuity is measured using standardised letter or symbol charts, where the patient is asked to read rows of characters from a set distance – typically six metres. The standard reference point is 100%, which represents the vision of a statistically average adult. This means that a person with 100% vision can read a line on the chart that the majority of the population can also read at the same distance. Vision above 100% simply means that a person can read smaller characters on the chart than the statistical average. This is not an exceptional or unusual condition – many people, particularly younger individuals, have visual acuity of 120% or even higher. With age, visual acuity tends to gradually decrease, which is a natural part of the ageing process. It is worth noting that visual acuity alone does not describe the full picture of a person's vision. Contrast sensitivity, colour perception, peripheral vision and the ability to see in low light are all aspects that a standard acuity test does not measure. A comprehensive eye examination therefore provides a considerably more thorough overview of visual health than a single acuity result. If you have questions about your vision or would like to have your eyes examined, the specialists at our clinic are ready to help.

During a vision examination, eye doctors always check how well a person can see at distance. It sometimes turns out that vision is even better than 100% — how is that possible?

How is visual acuity measured?

There are many different visual acuity charts in use today, but the classic remains the Snellen chart. During eye examinations, the visual acuity chart is placed 20 feet (or 6 metres) away from the person being examined.

What do the visual acuity numbers mean?

20/20 (in Europe 1.0, or 100%) visual acuity means that a person can clearly see at 20 feet the optotypes (the letters or symbols on the chart) that a person with "normal" vision should be able to see at 20 feet. 20/10 vision, on the other hand, means that a person can see at 20 feet objects that a person with normal vision can only see at 10 feet. If you can only see the top letter E on the chart, your visual acuity is just 20/200 (in Europe 0.1).

Is vision over 100% possible?

Typically, the 20/20 line is the fourth from the bottom of the vision chart; the lines below it represent visual acuity of 20/15, 20/10, and 20/5 — that is, vision that is better than 100%. Only a small number of people have visual acuity better than 20/10, but many birds of prey, for example, have vision of 20/5 or even better!
