I don\'t have perfect vision, but pretty close (maybe 19/20 vision).
There is no such thing a 19/20. 20/19, but not 19/20.
Basically the first 20 never changes. 20/50 translatres to:
What is normally seen clearly at 20 ft. away, looks as if they are 50 ft. away.
So, 20/19 is actually better than 20/20 (and also possible).
What is normally seen clearly at 20 ft. away, looks as if they are only 19 ft. away!
Some contacts can give people 20/15 vision.
Astigmatism is when my eyes are shaped wrong. They\'re supposed to be shaped round, perfect spheres. My eyes are shaped more like footballs. You can\'t tell by looking at me, it\'s shaped wrong on the inside.
