To FullFigRI- Does vision get better than 20/20? ans- yup- an eye chart is just where what's considered "average" perfect vision can distinguish at 20 feet. If you can do the same, you've got 20/20. However, let's say that the letters are made smaller, so that a person with 20/20 vision has to get within 10 feet to make them out- but someone with excellent vision can still make the letters out at 20 feet. This is 20/10 vision- something I really wish I had- hell, I'd be happy with good 20/20 (Eyecharts are not the best way to measure vision in the real world, but that is what people use.) My vision checks out at 20/20 or 20/25 with glasses, but I sail with people who can see things a lot further out than me. Does this help? Sam
