Yes. "4-0" is another way of writing out "0000", and 2-0 is another way of writing out "00". The more zeroes, the finer the suture. US suture sizes generally range from 11-0 ("eleven-ought", which is incredibly fine suture used for eye surgery) to 5 (heavy suture used for orthopedic procedures).

What is the name for 20-40 vision?

This is quoted from another question:"Having 20/60 means that you need to be 20 feet away from an object rather than a "normal" person who can see that object at 60 feet."http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_20-60_vision_considered_bad


What does 20 20 vision mean?

It means seeing at 20 feet what a person with normal vision sees at 20 feet. A person who has 20/40 vision can see at 20 feet what the person with normal vision sees at 40 feet, etc. Some people have better than 20/20 vision.


If a parent cell has 20 chromosomes how many chromosomes will be the result of meiosis?

Meiosis results in cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Therefore, if a parent cell has 20 chromosomes, the result of meiosis will be cells with 10 chromosomes.


What is 40 40 vision?

When someone has 20/20 vision, it means they can read a line of text of a certain size from 20 feet away with either eye. However, being able to read a line of text at 20 feet is pretty useless when it comes to driving, so, the line of text for driving license eye exams is set to 40 feet instead.


Is 20 32 vision bad?

No!!! 20 / 40 vision is better than 20/20. 20/20 is average vision what a normal person can see, anybody below that e.g 20/10 has worse vision than an average person they see what a normal person would see at 10 ft away rather than a average person at 20 ft away! People with 20/40 vision can see what an average person sees at 20 ft away in the same detail but 40 ft away! so no 20/40 vision is a good thing and way better than being average. (i have 20/40 vision, according to my optician!! wooooxxx)DO NOT LISTEN TO THE PERSON ABOVE ME!!!!They've got it backwards. If you have 20/40 vision, that means you can see what the average person sees at 40 feet from a distance of 20 feet. In other words, 20/20 vision is twice as good as 20/40 vision. Plus, if this was true, then imagine the person who has 20/200 vision (which is a real vision). If it were that way, then there'd be people that could see as well as a hawk, which is ridiculous. The lower the second number, the better the vision.WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DRS HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOG GOOD BUT NOT BAD SO SCREW U LYRVisual acuity - As part of the testing, you'll be asked to read letters on a distance chart. This test measures visual acuity, which is written as a fraction such as 20/40. The top number is the standard distance at which testing is done, twenty feet. The bottom number is the smallest letter size you were able to read. A person with 20/40 visual acuity would have to get within 20 feet of a letter that should be seen at forty feet in order to see it clearly. Normal distance visual acuity is 20/20.http://www.aoa.org/Astigmatism.xml
