What are diopters?
Dioptre is the unit of measurement for the sharpness of vision. It is also abbreviated as dpt. It is a mathematical unit that represents the refractive power of light.
It is used in ophthalmology, especially for the thickness of glasses. It can be used to differentiate between long-sightedness (positive diopters) and short-sightedness (negative diopters). The higher the value, the greater the visual impairment. The normal human eye has a dioptre number of 60. Depending on the curvature of the eyeball, farsightedness or short-sightedness occurs, which must be corrected accordingly with glasses.
Visual acuity of over 100%.
The optimal visual performance of humans is not always 100%. In young adults, who have no limitations whatsoever, a visual acuity of over 100% can be achieved with the help of adapted glasses. This is particularly important for sports shooters or surgeons, as they can see very sharply even in the distance. The glasses or contact lenses are individually made for each patient.
