What is a good Stereoacuity?

For discerning the clinical significance the stereo acuity levels were categorized into normal (20 arc seconds or better), Borderline (25 arc seconds to 40 arc seconds) and Reduced stereopsis (50 arc seconds to 400 arc seconds).

How do you read a visual acuity test?

Visual acuity is expressed as a fraction.

  1. The top number refers to the distance you stand from the chart. This is often 20 feet (6 meters).
  2. The bottom number indicates the distance at which a person with normal eyesight could read the same line you correctly read.
