Psst…

I read from here that the Duggars are pregnant again. No big deal? Yeah, except this time, it’s their 17th child.

Question of the day: Is your vision affecting the way you live?

The Eye Digest If you’re concerned with whether the health of your vision affects the way you live your life, perhaps it’s time for an eye check-up which will give you some peace of mind. But if you’re too lazy busy to visit an ophthalmologist, you can always take the online eye test.

The online eye test can help you determine your Vision Score. You will be presented with a series of questions — 39 in all — which will take approximately 20 minutes, depending on how quickly you read the questions :) Lower scores means greater vision disability.

Now, test results from 4,077 patients showed that those who have advanced macular degeneration will have a mean score of 74. And patients with advanced cataract will have a mean score between 86 and 88 depending on the type of cataract. Based on this information, it seems reasonable to assume that individuals who score less than 90 should seek an eye exam.

I took the test this afternoon, and VOILA! My overall score is 96.74, which is very good, considering the fact that I pop my contacts for long hours, and I sometimes sleep with them.. ARGH..

Click to take the test (opens in a new window) — then tell me how you did, OK?? Cis, like comparing exam marks!

    … My comment got eaten up. I meant to say that I need to see an eye doc soon. x_x

    Pat: No, your earlier comment wasn’t eaten up :) But yeah, perhaps you should see an eye doctor soon.. I wish you good health!

    I’m in the 90s. 91.89. Interesting. The main thing with me is a little bit of night blindness especially if we have a rainstorm; I know I have a slight problem with my eye muscles, and I’m actually partially long-sighted. It’s weird.
    I have glasses I can just never remember where they are :( and they’re only for close work I can’t wear them while driving.

  9. pelf says:

    Bengbeng: Not too cool means you should schedule an eye check-up soon!

    ColourfulWorld: It’s not too bad, don’t worry :)

    Ami-chan: Have you tried bifocal glasses? They’re more expensive, but saves you all the hassle of remembering to bring 2 pairs of glasses. And keeps you sane too :)
