'eye prescription'? Bruh. Read the comment of mine you replied to. 20/10 and 20/13 vision. I don't need prescriptions.

  That's like saying you can run a 3 minute mile so you don't have a shoe size. This whole thread is silly.
  • Talanes 5y ago
    Shoe size is an inherent byproduct of having feet of a certain dimension. A prescription has to be prescribed. If we're doing dumb analogies, it's like you're trying to insist a homeless man must have an address.

      ...Actually, that's a real problem in the financial services sector. You can't satisfy KYC requirements without an address of record. Off topic, but I'm jumping around a bit tonight.

        i'm imagining a homeless man receiving his begging money via a bitcoin QR code on his phone.. i hope he has a bitcoin atm nearby.

  Aren't those numbers about your ability to focus on distance objects, though? I could totally believe the someone might have "perfect" vision that doesn't require correction, but still have a slight astigmatism that impacts their vision under certain specific scenarios such as when viewing blue LEDs in low light. I'm not necessarily saying that's what you have, but more just that to the extent your eyes have been evaluated, it was likely "yeah they look great as far as your ability to perceive the brightly lit eye chart, no need to do the more detailed analysis where we figure out the other parameters that will never be used because you're fine, bye."
