Visual Acuity

Hi,

I'm stuggling to get my head around how visual acuity works. From what I can tell I think that my eyes are very good but I'm not sure as I have work glasses in the past for reading.

The scrawl on my prescription says:

Distance Acuity (Left) 6/4.5
Distance Acuity (Right) 6/4.5

Near Acuity (Left) NS
Near Acuity (Right) NS

From what I can glean on the web 6/4.5 is better than 6/6?

I think that means that they are very good or slightly bad depending on whether I have understood it right...I can't tell! Any suggestions?

Thanks, in advance,
