Important information each patient should leave the eye doctor's office knowing. The ability to see clearly is clinically defined with an eye chart (i.e. 20/20, 20/25, 20/30, 20/40, 20/50, etc...).


Each patient should know the following information:

1. What is your vision with your current glasses?
2. What is your vision with the new prescription?
3. If your vision is less than 20/20 (considered normal), what are the reasons?
