My turn for a whinge.... I have a cataract rapidly growing in my right eye. It's a bugger because I have such good vision, 62yo and still don't need glasses. If there was a better rating than 20/20, I'd have it. 
The eye doc points at the chart and asks, which is the lowest line you can read. I respond with:
Joke. Cos I check the chart on the wall when I enter the room, memorise the bottom line ready for the "test of my sight"
Seriously, at the moment it's bad, I used to read the charts easily though.
But as it is now, if I see this --> o <-- it looks like this --> 8 <--
So these all look basically the same to me --> o O 0 9 8 6 <--
It's a radial cataract growing from the centre outwards horizontally, right in the centre of my vision, I see vertical doubles and my close up distance sense is crap too. That means if I put pen to paper for example, I either hit the paper to hard or don't reach it with the nib.
No probs, new lens will be fitted on Monday, quick procedure, in and out in a couple of hours.

Sigma opthalmics - use at 3 metres.
