12 decimi

English translation: 24/20 vision

Medical - Medical (general)
Italian term or phrase: 12 decimi
The phrase goes:
"vista 12 decimi".

It's describing the vision of a driver.

I'm not familiar with this system of measuring sight - I am also confused as to how "12 decimi" makes logical sense (meaning 12 tenths).

Any ideas as to how to put this in English?

Thank you - although I actually need to use the UK system. According to the tables 12/10 = 6/5 vision.

Cosa significa una visione di 10/10?

Nel test ideale della vista viene posto un cartellone (ottotipo) a distanza di 10 metri: la linea dei 10/10 definisce la più piccola linea che una persona con vista normale riesce a leggere. In altre parole, è il valore medio della massima acuità visiva della popolazione.

Dodici Decimi e Oltre

È pertanto possibile vedere anche meglio della media della popolazione, raggiungendo visus di 12/10 e, in casi eccezionali, anche di 15/10. Ciò significa che un paziente è in grado di vedere alla distanza di 12 metri (12/10) o di 15 metri (15/10) ciò che una persona normale vede solamente a 10 metri.
