No.

It is a widespread misconception that the refraction error (the strength of the lenses in your glasses) has anything to do with your visual acuity other than that without correction (lenses or specs) your VA is lower than when appropriately corrected.

It is the 6/something which is your VA. The correction is merely the strength of the glasses you need to achieve your best VA.
