Hello again, is their anyone that can explain these eye chart numbers please. Before my first eyelea injection, it said (bad eye) 6/60 pinhole, now after my second and third jab, it says 6/18 best corrected. Thank you in advance.

Hi Nettroy,

The 6 is how many metres you are away from the eye chart physically, the second figure is how far a perfect sighted person would be from the eye chart to get the same result as you.

So massive improvement for you from 60 metres to 18.
