22.01.2022 How to interpret your vision test result: Distance visual acuity is measured on a distance vision chart. Visual acuity testing assesses your central vision only and is reported as a fraction, such as 6/12. The top number of the fraction is the standard distance at which testing is performed, i.e. 6 meters. The bottom number is the smallest size letter that can be read on the chart. If a person has a visual acuity result of 6/12 they would have to be within 6 metres of the letter that a person with a normal eye could see clearly from 12 metres away. A person with 6/6 visual acuity has normal vision by definition, although many people have vision better than 6/6. You may have heard people say that they have 20/20 vision. This is the same as 6/6, its just reported in feet rather than metres.
