Textbook definition of 20/20 vision:
The ability to distinguish an image that subtends 5 minutes of arc at a 20 foot distance.

The numerator of 20/20 defines the testing distance of the person being tested and the denominator defines the testing distance that a person with “20/20” vision would have to stand in order to see the same sized letters.

Definition of legal blindness in the US:
If someone has 20/200 vision or less in the better seeing eye (with a corrective lens) or has less than 20 degrees of visual field, then they are considered legally blind.

If you were fortunate enough, your vision corrected to at least the 20/20 line. But what is 20/20 vision? What does 20/20 vision mean? Check out this video to find out.
