20/20 vision is a term used to express normal visual acuity (the clarity or sharpness of vision) measured at a distance of 20 feet. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. American Optometric Association (AOA)
I saw this clock in an optometrist’s office while I was waiting for my dad to finish with his eye exam last week. I thought it was very fitting for the location!
As we get older, we start to notice issues with our vision. It doesn’t seem as sharp as it did when we were younger. It gets harder to read a map. Why do they make the print so small?! (Yes, I know some of the younger generation only look at their phones where they can zoom in and out but, somehow, I think they are missing the bigger picture! My nephew and I had this discussion the other day. Sounds like a topic for another blog!) Sometimes, cataracts can affect clarity.
I like these verses from Proverbs:
My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment.
Hang on to them,
for they will refresh your soul.
They are like jewels on a necklace.
They keep you safe on your way,
and your feet will not stumble.
You can go to bed without fear;
you will lie down and sleep soundly.
You need not be afraid of sudden disaster
or the destruction that comes upon the wicked,
for the LORD is your security.
He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.
Proverbs 3:21-26 (NLT)
