Visual Acuity Without Glasses After Treatment

Visual acuity measures the sharpness of vision using a letter chart. The below table shows that six months after the treatment, 94% of study patients saw 20/20 or better without glasses while 100% of study patients saw 20/40 or better.* A visual acuity of 20/40 or better is the standard requirement in most states for you to drive without any glasses or contact lenses.
* 20/20 is considered perfect vision while 20/16 and 20/12.5 are better than perfect vision.
