6/6 eyesight represents perfect visual acuity, meaning you can clearly see at 6 meters what a person with normal vision is expected to see at the same distance. This standard is widely recognized across many countries and is equivalent to the 20/20 vision system used in the United States.
Achieving 6/6 vision indicates that your eyes are functioning at their optimal level without the aid of glasses or contact lenses. It’s a key indicator used in medical exams, driving license tests, and professional vision assessments.
At BRAR EYE Hospital, our advanced LASIK and laser treatments are designed to help patients reach or come very close to this gold standard of vision. With state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and highly experienced surgeons, we tailor each procedure for maximum accuracy, clarity, and long-term success.

Second number: What normal eye sees (6 meters)
Standard eye chart used to measure 6/6 vision accuracy
Normal eyesight, no correction needed
Slight reduction, still very good vision
Manageable, may need glasses for clarity
Requires correction, difficulty with daily tasks
Legally blind, immediate treatment needed
Visual comparison of different vision levels from perfect to impaired
The most effective permanent solution for achieving 6/6 vision. LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors and restore perfect eyesight.
Glasses or contact lenses can achieve functional 6/6 vision by compensating for refractive errors. However, this is temporary and requires ongoing use.
While eye exercises cannot completely restore perfect vision, they can help maintain eye health and potentially slow vision deterioration.
Modern treatments can help most people achieve 6/6 vision
