That's considered normal vision.👁️ Someone with 20/15 vision has sharper-than-average eyesight. They can see at 20 feet what a person with 20/20 vision would need to be 15 feet away to see.👁️ Someone with 20/30 vision sees at 20 feet what a person with 20/20 vision can see from 30 feet away. That means their vision is a bit less sharp and may benefit from correction.Curious about your numbers? We're here to help you see clearly. 👓 ☎️ Call to schedule your appointment today: 319-362-3937. ... See MoreSee Less
