Question: is 20 50 vision nearsighted or farsighted?
Answer: Visual acuity refers to the sharpness of vision at 20 feet from an object. A person with 20/50 vision can clearly see something 20 feet away that a person with normal vision can see clearly from a distance of 50 feet. Bad distance vision was considered "improved" if corrections boosted visual acuity to 20/40 or better.
