If I were wealthly enough i'd have all my teeth taken and out replaced with strong fakes.

2017-01-27 at 2:42 AM UTCWhat would you do with your old teeth? I think it's a good idea but I'd feel bad for my old teeth like they are my teeth and I just kick 'em out of my mouth even though they've been there for me my whole life through the good bad and the ugly. I'd probably have a hearty crying session.
Unrelated, I wonder if anyone here has had lasik surgery or know anyone who has. I've always wondered if it's worth it, like does it really improve your vision that drastically that it's like seeing everything in super mega ultra high definition? That would be pretty fucking cool. -

I know someone who has. I don't know about super mega ultra high definition, but he said his eyesight was horrible before and then he able to see better than 20/20. -

like 30/20 or 35/20 or 40/20 ????? -
2017-01-27 at 5:09 PM UTCI'd have Bill Krozbys asshole and lower digestive tract surgically attached to my dick so he'd be in a perpetual state of being ass banged.

Something like that or so he claimed. Though he might have had a nigger doctor. -
2017-01-28 at 2:26 AM UTCI believe each eye has its own diagnostic so you can have 20/20 vision in one eye and 40/20 in the other. If I'm not mistaken better vision goes down so like 10/20 is about as good as it gets. I'm probably wrong.

true

true-ish, however the first number is always 20...as in feet. 20-20 is what 'normal' vision is officially deemed to be. 20-10 is better than 'normal' and 20-30 is worse that normal.
i knew a pilot who had some ridiculous vision...lik 20-5 or something...so who knows how low itd go. -
2017-01-28 at 3:37 AM UTCWhat Does 20/20 Vision Mean?
Vision Testing
Visual acuity is usually measured with a Snellen chart. Snellen charts display letters of progressively smaller size. "Normal" vision is 20/20. This means that the test subject sees the same line of letters at 20 feet that person with normal vision sees at 20 feet. 20/40 vision means that the test subject sees at 20 feet what a person with normal vision sees at 40 feet. Another way of saying this is that a person with 20/40 vision has vision that is only half as good as normal - or, objects must be at half the normal distance for him to see them. A person with 20/20 vision is able to see letters 1/10th as large as someone with 20/200 vision. 20/20 is not the best possible eyesight however, for example, 20/15 vision is better than 20/20. A person with 20/15 vision can see objects at 20 feet that a person with 20/20 vision can only see at 15 feet.
Levels of Vision
20/20 - Normal vision. Fighter pilot minimum. Required to read the stock quotes in the newspaper, or numbers in the telephone book.
20/40 - Able to pass Driver's License Test in all 50 States. Most printed material is at this level.
20/80 - Able to read alarm clock at 10 feet. News Headlines are this size.
20/200 - Legal blindness. Able to see STOP sign letters.
Eye Prescription
The refractive error of the eye can be expressed in numeric terms. The power of the lenses necessary to correct your vision is measured in units called diopters (see below). The first number designates the amount of myopia (minus numbers) or hyperopia (plus numbers). The second number (if present), indicates the amount of astigmatism. The third number shows the axis of the astigmatism. Depending on the sign of the second number, the axis indicates the orientation of the steepest or flattest meridian of the cornea. The fourth number is the "add," or the amount of magnification needed to give clear vision at near. If this number is present, bifocals have been prescribed to correct presbyopia.
What is a Diopter?
A diopter is a unit of measurement of the refractive error. It may be a negative number (myopia, nearsightedness), or a positive number (hyperopia, farsightedness). A -1.00 diopter myope is able to see objects at 1 meter clearly. A -2.00 diopter myope is able to see objects at a ½ meter clearly. The greater the myopia, the greater the strength of the lens in diopters needed to correct the refractive error, and the closer an object must be to be viewed clearly.

heres an element of the equation these idiot doctors fail to account for: the usefulness of near vs far sighted-ness.
example...im near-sighted. meaning, if i take a vision test my vision is something like 20-80 or 20-100. HOWEVER...if im doing something that requires close-up viewing of work im doing, such as small electronics, reading my phone screen without zooming in, precision work on anything, (example...i could see, and was maneuvering, individual grains of 300-MP smokeless powder for a precise handload that i could never do if i had 'normal' vision.) etc, i can see the way 'normal' people would if they were looking through a magnifying glass.

2017-01-28 at 8:08 PM UTCActually anything other than 20/20 is bad because you cant ese distant objects ora you cant read books or work in a computer. My mother and sister had 20/10 and had a very bad time reading without glasses

the guy I knew with 20-5 vision had no problems using a computer or reading. when he was first transferred we'd do things to test his vision, like 'can u see this?' and 'can you see that?' after a while the newness wore off and no one gave a shit but it was ridiculous the things he could see.
an example of my own nearsightedness...I just took apart a pneumatic nail gun that was leaking and without my contacts in the speck of dirt stuck on the seal was clear as day. with my contacts in I couldn't focus on it...the thing just looked like part of the seal. -
