question regarding visual acuity

Question
i have applied for a job where the required Vision standards are : 6/6 with out spectacles (or other forms of corrective lensess) and must not suffer from colour / night blindness.



But i put on spectacles with -1.75 D(sph)



so is it 6/6 or not??


Answer
Hi Mayank,

If they require 6/6 withOUT correction, they are being very selective indeed.  Your unaided vision would be approximately 6/40 or possibly worse, buy any eye doctor or clinic would be able to measure it for you.
