Eyeglass Prescriptions Contact Lens Prescriptions Your eye exam is an assessment of acuity. This can be done with either a standard Snellen hanging wall chart read with the patient standing at a distance of 20 feet or a specially designed pocket card (held at 14 inches). Each eye is tested independently (i.e. one is covered while the other is used to read).
In reference to your eyeglass (or contact lens) prescription - the larger the denominator, the worse the acuity. 20/200, for example, means that an individual can see at 20 feet what a normal individual can at 200 feet (i.e. their vision is pretty bad).
Trust your eyes to the guidance of Board Certified Ophthalmologist,
Maurice Mosseri, MD, by scheduling an appointment or eye exam. To schedule an appointment, or if you have any surgical or nonsurgical questions pertaining to your eyes, please feel free to contact Board Certified Ophthalmologist, Maurice Mosseri, MD at any of his New York offices or send an email to info@drmosseri.com. |
