Eye Vision 6 / 6, 6 / 9, 6 / 12, 6 / 18
Eye Vision 6 / 6, 6 / 9, 6 / 12, 6 / 18 is the standard vision for RRB (Railway Recruitment Board). This vision standard is also known as Visual Acuity Standards which are measured using Snellen’s Eye Chart.
- If a candidate scores 6 / 6, means they can see things located at a distance of 6 meters. Which is also considered to be a normal eye vision
- If a candidate scores 6 / 9, means they can see objects placed 6 meters away. This means the eye sight is slightly below normal condition. The normal condition of eyesight is when a person can see from a distance of 9 meters.
- And in case the candidate scores 6 / 12 or 6 / 18, means the candidates are able to read from 6 meters of distance. And a normal person can read from a distance of 12 – 18 meters. Hence, it is not the normal condition.
