by reading letters or numbers on a chart posted a set distance away (usually 20 ft). The doctor asks the patient to view images through a variety of lenses to obtain the best correction. The doctor also examines the inside of the eye and the retina
The two numbers are a ratio, known as the Snellen Ratio. The bottom number is the distance someone with normal vision can distinguish a reference. The top number is the distance the person being tested can distinguish that same reference. Therefore, 30/30 is the same as 20/20 (the usual way of saying someone has normal vision).
25 cm -least vision distance
No, their distance vision is rather poor.
Depending upon the amount of farsightedness, symptoms can range from none to clear distance vision but blurry near vision, to blurry distance and near vision

Yes, the ciliary muscle is relaxed for distant vision, but is contracted for close vision.
tele means distance or at a distance. vision means seeing or something seen. The word was television was likely inspired by telegraph and telephone/

Least distance of distinct vision increases with age because ciliary muscles (eyes muscles) gets weakened.
In the term "20/20 vision" the numerator refers to the distance in feet from which a person can reliably distinguish a pair of objects. The denominator is the distance from which a person with standard VA (that is, with 20/20 vision) would be able to distinguish them-the distance at which their separation angle is 1 arc minute. The metric equivalent is 6/6 vision where the distance is 6 meters. Twenty feet is essentially infinity from an optical perspective (the difference in optical power required to focus at 20 feet versus infinity is only 0.164 diopters). For that reason, 20/20 vision can be considered nominal performance for human distance vision; 20/40 vision can be considered half that acuity for distance vision and 20/10 vision would be twice normal acuity. The 20/x number does not directly relate to the eyeglass prescription required to correct vision; rather an eye exam seeks to find the prescription that will provide at least 20/20 vision.
