Ok.........I'm getting drunk on Royal Canadian and have to brag about my eye test this week.
I was 20-10 baby!! About the only thing that still works on old RDak is my old eyes.!! 
Now that I am drunk..........I probably am at about 20-50 though.

Quoted:
My clear range of vision is about 2 inches or so, starting 3 inches from my eyes. As far as I'm concerned, you can blow it out your ass. Jerk  Now, that's what I'm talkin' about!! 
Twenty five feet from the TV and I can see the small writing on the bottom of the screen. God Da** I got clear vision.

I have had 20/10 all my life , just turned 47 and the eyes have started to go south on me....... PRK!! My wife got it and she is back to 20-20. She always had very clear vision when we were young but that surgery really did work for her. I'm being serious now. |

Just the other day a hawk that comes into my backyard started his dive and I pointed out a mouse in the other field...........he immediately changed direction and flew away with that mouse I directed him to.

Can you please post your responses in Braille? I'm having a bit of trouble over here I've always asked the military guys why in the heck they need those stupid scopes. ETA: After another couple ounces of Royal Canadian........I estimate my vision is about 20-75 now.
ETA: Nope.........just read the bottom of the golf channel running info at the bottom of the screen at 25 feet away.
Give an old guy a break......it's the only GOD DA** thing that still works properly. |

Targets at any distance over 15 or so yards are completely obscured |

On a serious note.........my father.....who had good eyes, is 86 now and can't pass the Sec. of State eye exam.
I had to take him to the eye doctor a couple of weeks ago to see what they can do to let him drive again. They got him to the bare minimum but..............now you see what I mean when a guy gets old.
ETA: He was a WWII rifleman who had VERY good vision.......but he got older.
That's why I went in for an eye exam this week. |

That's why I went in for an eye exam this week. Getting old sucks, but it still beats the alternative.  I had LASEK* a few years ago and got to experience 20/40 on my way to about 20/15. 20/40 is the legal minimum. It is a little scary that people can legally drive with 20/40 vision. That being said, someone losing their driving license would be tough to deal with. It's one thing if someone say gets a DUI, but when it is of no fault of your own... For the record, my grandparents died from a traffic accident when they were 80. My grandfather didn't see the pickup truck... My Dad is 82...
*LASEK is a PRK variant. There is no flap / cutting of the cornea, thus no complications from that. It is not LASIK. |

Not really, I'm 20/20 in one eye and 20/40 in the other and the biggest difference is being able to read license plates. If someone is 20/40 it's not like they can't see cars or people, it's just more difficult to read signs and other more detailed things.
