Vision QA

Hi, We had this blinde awareness thing at school. We had to try on these glasses that tried to simulate different types of eye condition e.g. glaucomo etc. There was a particular pair of glasses that where supposed to simulate something (i forget what). Anyway If you had good eyes you were supposed to see two circles. I saw one. This would seem to indicate that i had bad eyes. However about 18 months ago I had a VERY long and thorough eye exam. I was told I had perfect vision. Both my parents wair glasses. However I am 18 and so I thought this would be unusual to have perfet eyes till then and then need glasses. Thanks

You should have your eyes checked once a year whether your having troubles seeing or not. You need to make sure the eyes are healthy. Couple things they check are your eye pressures and your retina.
