FAQS

Acuity is the measure of the eye’s ability to distinguish the smallest identifiable letter or symbol, its details and shape, usually at a distance of 20 feet. This measurement is usually given in a fraction. The top number refers to the testing distance measured in feet and the bottom number is the distance from which a normal eye should see the letter or shape.

Even if you are legally blind, you may still have some useful vision. If you are legally blind, you may qualify for certain government benefits.
