What is 20/50 Vision Like?

[JoeW]

What is it like to have 20/50ish eye sight? I understand that with an uncorrected visual acuity any worse than 20/40, you can't legally drive without using glasses or something of the sort. But what would that *look* like? I really have no understanding of what sort of blur or partial clarity would be present. Do you know where I could see a visual representation of what it looks like to see with 20/40 and/or 20/50 vision?

Thanks so much.

get some trials lens, if you are uncorrected, keeping adding lens until you can only see the 20/50 line, then walk around it in.

if you are corrected via contacts, get a +.75 (approx, maybe set up a .875) and walk around in it.

its fun, ive done it myself
