By the way, the Verge writer seems to think, 20/20 vision ist above average or even perfect vision. And many other people seem to think so, too. But it is just the average vision... many people have worse vision (which can be corrected in most cases) and many people have better vision than 20/20. https://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/what-does-20-20-vision-mean If someone gets corrective lenses, a good ophthalmologist ("eye doctor") or optician (salesperson of glasses and contact lenses) will of course try to get the best fit for their patient/customer possible... not just enhancing the vision up to "average". Even some people with 20/20 vision get corrective lenses to enhance their vision further. Therefore nowadays the share of people who already have or can get 20/15 vision is huge: https://sharpe-vision.com/blog/what-does-20-15-vision-mean/ Yesterday I had my semi-annually eyes checkup, and my vision with glasses is stilll way above average... without my glasses I'm blind as a bat. |
People with glasses are indeed sometimes given superhuman vision depending on what lens they need. 20/20 being the average vision makes my point doesn't it, less people will see the difference If that's the average stat.
