    Most people reach 6\/6 (20\/20) vision or better without glasses after LASIK, but it is not guaranteed. A review of 97 studies covering 67,893 eyes found 90.8% saw 20\/20 or better, and the American Academy of Ophthalmology says about 9 in 10 patients end up between 20\/20 and 20\/40. Your result depends on your prescription, corneas and tear film, which your surgeon checks before treatment.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n

    What does 6\/6 (20\/20) vision actually mean?<\/h2><\/div>

    6\/6 and 20\/20 are the same result written in two units: 6\/6 uses metres and 20\/20 uses feet. If you have 6\/6 vision, you can read at 6 metres (20 feet) the line of letters that an average person can read at that distance. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) says outside the United States eye-care providers use metres, with 6\/6 as the equivalent goal.<\/p>\n

    Two things are worth knowing before you ask whether LASIK will give you 6\/6.<\/p>\n
