This is the rule in question, (listed under the Death Note Wiki as "How to
Use: XXI"):

> "Those with the eye power of the god of death will have the eyesight of over
> 3.6 in the human measurement, regardless of their original eyesight."

So, what are the numbers referring to? 3.6 what? I googled Visual Acuity, and
I'm guessing those with death god eyes can see over 3 and a half times further
than normal humans? 3.6 times to be exact.

I never read the manga, or saw the Japanese version, so I ask this question to
confirm it with perhaps something someone read.

What does this Death Note rule regarding visual acuity mean?


3.6 in Japanese measurement is the equivalent of 72/20 in American
measurement. That's considered to be _Excellent_ eyesight.

It's not that you see 3.6 times further, you are able to _distinguish_ , 3.6
times more detail in the image you get (read, 3.6 times smaller details).
