Oh yeah. It's better then 20/20. I have NEVER seen things as good and clear as I can now. They placed perm. lenses under my retinas to correct my vision which has been poor all my life

I thought 20/20 was the best.

• 20/20 Vision: Normal visual acuity where you see detail from 20 feet away that an average person sees at 20 feet.

• 20/15 Vision: Sharper than average; you see details at 20 feet that an average person must be 15 feet closer to see.

• 20/10 Vision: The human limit without magnification; you see details at 20 feet that an average person needs to be 10 feet away to see.

• 20/5 Vision: The sharpest human vision ever recorded, comparable to an eagle's natural sight

Oh thanks, I was backwards. My eye got to 50/20 which means you can’t drive, but no one told me. Lol. 
But you have superman vision now. 🎉

I bet snipers have vision like some of those.

• Corrected Acuity: Most conventional military sniper courses (such as in the U.S. Army) require your vision to be 20/20 or correctable to 20/20 using eyeglasses or approved contact lenses. [1, 2]

• Color Vision: Candidates must typically pass a color vision test (such as a red/green colorblindness test), as identifying camouflage, targets, and environmental details is critical. [1, 2, 3]

I'll be 64 in November.

I'll soon be 67 in 8 more days providing I make it that far.

I always say the same thing every year. I've had so many friends die in their 50's.

@StnCld316@corvette08 Sadly none of us Ever knows when our time is up. Unless of course your terminally ill and it is inevitable 🙁

I drove for like a 1.5 years with my eyes failing. I would drive with my right eye shut all the time because it was the worst one. I stopped driving like 4 months before I was able to get looked at by an eye doctor and find out what was going on. It took me another 7 months to get things approved and set up with medicare to get them fixed.
