had my eyes tested this morning. well its been about 7 years since my last test, and work pay for the exam anyway, so i thought why not.

anyway, its all changed a bit since my last exam. went to vision express.

luckily my eyes are fine and i dont need anything.

how often do you have your eyes tested, and have they ever found something that potentually has saved you life?

Does reading those AHJFK sheets constitute a proper eye test?

not really. the one i had today consisted of looking at a hotair balloon in the distance while the computer did some funky stuff. then reading letters, looking at lights and wearing funny glasses just so he could laugh at me.

The full test is quite comprehensive - you should get flashing lights shone at you and puffs of air in your eye too.

nope. didnt get that.

Perhaps not the eyes themselves, but opticians can tell of potentially very seriosu conditions with an eye test.
