20/20 vision is a measurement of visual acuity, or the sharpness of your distance vision. It’s a commonly used standard for measuring visual acuity in the United States and many other countries. "20/20" means that you can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. It doesn’t mean perfect vision, but it’s pretty darn close. If you have 20/20 vision, you have average or normal vision.
