Over xmas/NY, when I was back in Wheaton, I got my annual eyeball check-up. They're doing great... good intraocular pressure, no additional deterioration in my lens' ability to focus... and it turns out I have superpower vision.
No, I can't see through walls or fire lasers at the tires of annoying drivers on the interstate (how great would that be). But my eyes do correct down to almost 20/5, which according to my optomitrist no human is supposed to be able to achieve.
20/20 is considered "perfect vision"... it's the ability to read 20 pt font at 20 feet. 20/100 (the ability to read 100 pt font at 20 feet) or worse is legally blind (for purposes of driving especially). Without my contacts, I'm like 20/200. With them, I'm between 20/5 and 20/10, meaning I can read like 7 pt font at 20 feet. At that level I can discern particles of dust and dirt on things that most other people can't, which my doc warned me can really drive some people crazy. I can read that ticker on the bottom of a tv news channel from across a crowded bar. I can see those nasty, crater-like pores on your face that you really need to see a dermatologist about. And I can see right through your bullshit when you tell me that you like me but you're just not ready for a relationship right now. Hahaha.
Anyways, I think it's neat that I've got supervision. It makes up for my crappy sense of smell.
