In the past have gotten dilated, a shot, and drove home while snowing. Used the sunglasses that go behind your glasses, my glasses with sunglasses, and some of those old people sunglasses that fit over glasses. It was still way to bright out! Usually just go home and sleep for a few hours for the dilation stuff to wear off. The shot blurs vision in one eye for the next 24 hours. At least I can see. Vision got to 20/200 with glass before it got better. Thats basically blind.

Saw on Youtube where this chick has 5000/20 vision. They said she can recognize people a mile away. She has the vision of an eagle. She can't watch tv cause she sees the dots that make the picture. Wonder if 4K helps any. Didn't say if computer monitors were just dots as well.

Good to see posts from that Markus guy. Hope it is going well there too.
On the show Dogfights they interviewed an Israeli pilot and they said they checked his eyesight with radar. He said a pilot with really good vision can see a fighter 10 miles out. He could see them at 26+ miles out.

Had good weather over the weekend. Helped my niece with breaking little round clay saucers with a 12g. She had fun but liked the .45-70 the best. Sis, BiL, mom, dad, our kids, the niece and nephew all had a grand time. Much money was spent!
