Jiac Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 So recently I suffered an eye injury and got diagnosed with Traumatic Iritis. Inflammation stopped and now seeing a glaucoma specialist in which I am in risk of it. Currently with Traumatic Mydriasis and Angle Recession. I've had many eye check ups and miraculously still have 20/20 vision on both eyes. Anyways has anyone actually cheated an eye test using the Snellen Eye Chart. Just pure curiousity.

Magical Glace Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I didn't know you could cheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe Neo Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I've had an eye test a few months ago and lied about being able to read the bottom line (I cheated) and now strangely enough I can now read that line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I imagine rote memorization might work for cheating. I actually tried to do this at my last checkup I'll admit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Generally speaking we randomise the charts and they're different at every practice and between programs so you can't cheat with them. Most practices now use logMAR charts, anyway. Snellen is considered to be long outdated and less accurate. OP, continue to get your eyes tested long after this incident, and get your intraocular pressures routinely checked. The danger of glaucoma is not to your visual acuity but to your peripheral vision and you won't notice that until a significant amount of damage is done.

Esme Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 my vision is 20-25 iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiseki Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I think I ended up cheating it from memorization once. My glasses were headache-inducing awful to the point where I stopped using them till my next eye doctor appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Wright Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 1. there's no point in cheating 2. on a real eye exam, due to the way the technology works, it's impossible to cheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The danger of glaucoma is not to your visual acuity but to your peripheral vision and you won't notice that until a significant amount of damage is done. Yah my IOP is between 24-30 as of right now. Normal is 18-21 and below iirc. Thankfully my risk of glaucoma is severely reduced due to my eye being treated 4 hours after the incident. And my optic nerves haven't been affected. They're only waiting for my eye to heal due to the bridge where liquid enters the lens of the eye has been damage. I have to take Timolol and Dorzolamide for the time being. Also my pupil has been dilated since the incident, is there anyways to make it constrict? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 There is, but it'd be with another prescription eyedrop (likely pilocarpine) and you want to keep them dilated in order to prevent synechiae (iris sticking to cornea or lens) forming--these are extremely painful and only cause complications later. Once you make a recovery and bring the IOPs down your pupils may return to being normal sized. Until then you'll probably just have to deal with it.

Parrhesia Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I had a mate in high school who had 666/9001 vision, but I lost touch - I hope she's doing okay these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
