Hmm ! So, went to have my eyes tested
Usually go to a high street chain place.
You sit at one machine and answer the questions the 'Optician' asks you.
[quote] What's the lowest line you can read ?[/quote]
[quote] Which is clearer the letters on the green or red background ?[/quote]
[quote]Is this a circle or a square ?[/quote]
Kinda thing.
Had a Glaucoma check - no problem
Then had to switch to a different machine to measure 'Peripheral vision'.
First attempt: 5/20....馃
Second attempt: 6/20
This had the guy doing the test scratching his head.
He explained it's impossible to have such a high score on the previous test yet such a low score on the second.
I said is that indicative of a problem with me or the machine ?
He said he didn't know but would seek advice.
He then disappears FOR AN HOUR before coming back with somebody older in a suit who then tinkers with a palmpilot and the machine and then asks me to resit the entire test.
Which I do.
He then turns to his colleague (the guy doing my test) and says
[quote] The results are within acceptable limits[/quote]......
And I'm left thinking
[quote]馃槧 What the hell does that mean ?[/quote]
I asked the 'Suit'
[quote] So am I in need of a new prescription ?[/quote]
He says
[quote] Your eyes are off by 4%. If it had been 9 or above we'd suggest yes. But as it is you're fine.[/quote]
馃し What are you supposed to make of that ?
