9 vision, often expressed as a fraction like 6/9 vision, describes a specific level of visual acuity. According to the reference material, 6/9 vision means a person can read at 6 meters what someone with normal vision can read at 9 meters. In other words, someone with 6/9 vision needs to be closer to see an object clearly compared to someone with "normal" or 20/20 vision.
Here’s a breakdown of what this means:
-
Visual Acuity: Visual acuity is the clarity or sharpness of vision. It's typically measured using a Snellen chart, where you read letters of decreasing size from a distance.
-
Fraction Representation: The fraction represents a comparison. The numerator (top number) is the distance at which the person with impaired vision can see clearly (6 meters in this case). The denominator (bottom number) is the distance at which a person with normal vision can see the same thing (9 meters).
-
Implication: If someone has 6/9 vision, it means their vision is less sharp than normal. They need to be closer to an object to see it as clearly as someone with normal vision would see it from further away.
Example: A person with 6/9 vision needs to stand 6 meters away to read a sign that a person with normal vision can read from 9 meters away.
In simpler terms, 9 vision (often represented in a fraction of 6/9) suggests that your vision is not perfect, and you need to be closer to objects to see them as clearly as someone with normal vision.
