twenty-twenty
Optimal eyesight score
Twenty-twenty describes normal visual acuity—the ability to see at twenty feet what a person with standard vision sees at that distance.
The term extends to any clear perception or judgment: hindsight is twenty-twenty.
Also written 20/20.
The year 2020 is sometimes referenced with ironic wordplay given the global pandemic that defined it.
