I think maybe they want you to keep guessing to see just how well you can or can’t see the letters. For example, maybe to see if you can at least still tell the difference between round letters and linear letters. Like if you guess G when it’s an O, at least you can tell it’s round, but if it was O and you guessed T, they know you’re lost

I'm working in a big practice of ophthalmologists. And its exactly like that! The test is a little bit different, but our patients are guessing the hell out of the letters, as if there's a price to win. But we just need to do a follow up to check if the medications are working. Still hilarious to watch in this clip, although it's nerve wrecking to watch in real life 😅

One time I actually guessed all the letters correctly. It was during one of the eye tests that they administer at elementary school. I don’t have terrible vision, but I still need glasses, but after I read through all the letters the lady said I had perfect vision and sent me on my way.

.......My dad. He is the squinter, peering eyed, perfect guesser. My mum & are *convinced* he somehow cheats at the optician's. He has those magnifying readers, but he - somehow, because he can't bloody see things like he thinks he can - *never* 'needs' glasses after an eye test. He's 67. And honestly, most people would never guess how old he is. He still bounces everywhere & apart from thinner hair, I genuinely don't think he's changed much in 20 years (& I'm not being nice, or kind... everyone says it, & all his friends got older... I just hope the genes are strong!) So the point is, it wouldn't bloody matter if he wore glasses all the time. First, the rest of us have them, second, who cares anymore? Third, it's practically *expected* that a man in his 60's would have glasses. We don't know wtf is wrong with him!! *Just tell the truth!* Honestly, I think it has nothing to do with glasses, it's about winning. He thinks it *is* a game - but *you have it wrong Michael!* - the prize (apparently), is *not* winning the glasses. Or maybe it's actually walking out and telling my mum he *doesn't need glasses* 😏. Honestly, I'd say both factor high. This one hit a nerve! ;-)

Same here, discovered my eyesight problem when I started school. The frequency of eye tests annoyed me and I learnt the whole chart off by heart, thought I was so smart until the optician twigged. Thought if I could go through the whole chart I wouldn't need to wear glasses, turned out I was obviously as thick as I was blind but at 9 years old I knew it all. Still wearing glasses 70 years later so I concede I did have a problem.

Opticians really annoys me because it seems as soon as you hit the late 30's they just want to give you glasses. It's almost unthinkable that you should still have good eyesight. I'm sure it's profit-driven. I know people who've bought glasses on their optician's say-so and the glasses sit in the draw at home because they manage fine without them.

Short sighted and long sighted. And then there's me: color sighted. What? What's that? It's when you remember people on the basis of their colors.
