The first number in 20/25 vision refers to a standard eye chart distance The lower the number the better your eyesight, and vice versa, the larger the lower number the worse your eyesight. When you get an eye exam, you typically stand 20 feet away from the chart while reading different lines of letters

If you have 20/20 vision, it means you can clearly see what an average person sees from 20 feet away.
Pd stands for pupillary distance, which is the measurement from the center of one pupil to the center of the other
Your pd is an important factor and tells you where you look through the lens of your glasses and should be as accurate as possible. Wondering “what is 20/25 vision” or “is 20/25 vision good” This clear, expert guide explains the snellen numbers, whether 20/25 needs correction, how it compares to 20/20, and if it indicates farsightedness or nearsightedness. Having 20/25 vision means your eyesight is slightly outside the range of normal vision (20/20)
Although it’s not bad vision, it isn’t as good as 20/20 vision or normal visual acuity. Reading glasses are convex lenses that help your eyes focus on nearby objects. What do the numbers on reading glasses mean If you’ve ever shopped for reading glasses, you’ve likely come across numbers like +1.00 , +2.50 , or even +4.00 printed on the lenses or packaging
But what do these numbers actually mean
And how do you know which one is right for you? The strength of reading glasses, indicated by a number that begins with a plus sign, such as +1.00, +1.25, or +2.50, reflects the diopter level. In other words, the first number is the test distance (typically 20 for 20 feet) and the second number is how small of a letter you can see
