| Hehe... well let me educate you a little.
The Snellen chart is nothing but a tool. Everybody interprets the
results differently. It's kind of like going to a restaurant and
ordering a steak cooked medium rare. In some places that would be
just pink in the center, in other places it would be ice cold in the
center. Also, the Snellen results depend upon the responses of the
patient. Some people make no effort to "guess" what letters they see
on the chart. I have a very bad habit of analyzing the shape and
symmentry of the letters and making very good guesses. I also
remember some letters.. and I also know that some letters are not used
on the charts. When you have only 26 letters to begin with, and you
can see if there are points and lines and whether the letter has a
solid or open center or opens to the left/right/top/bottom... quite a
few letters can be guessed without really seeing them.
As for light dilating the pupil... it takes very little light to
shrink the pupil. And even so, that Kenny Perry story is full of
holes.
Again, I find it incredible that of all the millions of people having
LASIK done, the malcontents can't come up with better examples of
surgery gone bad.
Frankly, Kenny Perry is a golfing veteran who has spent his entire
life playing golf. He never had much success in the past. Now that
he's had lasik done, he's now ranked #15 in the world. Not bad for a
golfer who is 44 years old and very overweight.
I found your comment about "all these finding are documented in
Ophthalmology Journals" interesting. Just what journal have you ever
read? You must be joking. Why would you even be reading
ophthalmology journals? Also.. while there are ophthalmology
journals out there... who decided which ones are the "top" journals?
You must have a whole lot of free time on your hands. Did you have
LASIK done? Or are you just some malcontent who just wants to make
everyone else miserable?
