    Follow-on showerthought: you can only really fail a test that is designed to determine if you need glasses by cheating on said test.

      That feeling when you accidentally memorize the eye chart and then are uncertain about whether you are seeing the letter clearly or just seeing what you expect to see.

          Yes. I had a guy who got upset because they switched to the digital board for the eyesight exam for his amateur piloting recert so he can’t just memorize the letters anymore

      Was about to comment this. You can’t really fail an eye test, the desired result of the test is to determine how good your eyesight is, so the only way to fail it is is incomplete or incorrect data.

      It’s not like a maths test where the desired result is, say, 80% or higher.

      Last time i went to the eye doctor, the nurse told me “thats incorrect, try again” as if my eyes could magically focus on the letters.

      Who “tries again” on an eye test? The letters are blurry or they’re not. Its not a multiple answer quiz
