Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
What is meant by 6/6 right eye, 6/6 left eye and 6/5 uniocular vision with glasses?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
In laymen terms, 6 by 6 means scientificly defined perfect vision. In medical terms, 6 by 6 means what you see from six meters, a person with normal vision also sees it from 6 metres. 6 by 5 means what a normal person sees from 5 metres you see it from 6 metres only means better than normal vision. In this case, 6 by 5 is possible with spectacles.

Thank you doctor,
For someone with 1.5 and 2 glass, can he have 6/6 vision with glasses for right, left and uniocular vision each?
Hi,

Yes, definitely provided retina is normal.
