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.

chiang, as so you know that in the UK... a VA of over 6/60 means that you will be registered as BLIND. when MAS says that the minimum VA of 6/60, what they meant was they wanted someone who are not registered blind. if you can wear refractive lenses...chances are you are not blind.

so there you go.
