If you know, you know.

And sometimes it’s a hot air balloon.
- It was always the balloon for me. Never seen the house.
  
  Depends on the brand that made the autorefractor
  
  It was (and is) always the house for me. Never seen the balloon.
  
  I've had both, different optometrists though
- Actually they are the same picture of a cat, and your eyesight is just much worse than you thought.

I don't get it.
- Then you don't know.
  
  You deserve the eye puff now for not explaining it to them...
  
  You mean they "w" don't know.
  
  K, very helpful.
- Maybe get your eyes checked?
  
  Before i read the other comments I thought you were just being sarcastic and slightly aggressive. Lol

air puff noise
- pfft

I hate this test, never get used to it. Sort of a two for flinching kind of thing.

I hate the one where they photograph your retina with a bright flash
- I hate the one where they wait a random time period then puff your eye with air
  
  I feel like I always have to apologize to the tech because I hate the sure thing so much. My eyelids preemptively want to close because they know what’s coming

I guess this checks out. I have no clue, and 20/15 vision 🤷‍♂️
- Theres an eye exam test where you align images. Sometimes its a farmhouse and sometimes a hot air balloon.
  
  That's why I didn't get it, it's always the hot air balloon for me.
  
  Ah, gotcha. Til
  
  When did this become a thing? I don't remember ever doing this but I haven't had an eye exam since 2018

Zoomed in so you don't have to

I got LASIK when I was 19. Doctor at the time was like "You may want to hold off since you're still growing." I said "What do you know doc, shut up and slice me!"
So imagine my surprise when I'm going to get glasses 12 years later, and they've now got all these fancy machines doing shit. My eye appointments in my teens were dark room, eye drops to dillate, read some letters, then the thing with the lenses "which is better, 1 or 2?"
Now you go in and hit machine after machine after machine, and that house/balloon decides when it's clear for you. Really incredible shit.
- That's an autorefractor machine and it's not exactly accurate (they over-correct a lot), nor is it legal or ethical to prescribe a medical ophthalmic device with it alone. You need subjective refraction done by an eye doctor so you can get the best lenses that you need. Also you could possibly need prisms for any tropia.
  
  Oh sure, yeah we end up going in the room and doing what I assume is subjective refraction, based off my understanding of the English language, but it seems like the machine kinda narrows down the starting window, that's my layman vibe. You seem like you are more than a layman and I appreciate your input.
  I have asthigmastism. My daughter likes prisms, but those are rocks.
  Back to the subjective refraction, sometimes I can't decide between 1 and 2. And yeah we go to 3 and 3 is shit, and so we are back to 1 and 2, and it's a stalemate.
  Overall, I like going to the eye doctor. They are the antithesis of dentists as far as the doctor world goes.
- "What do you know doc, shut up and slice me!"
  This sounds Cyberpunk AF LOL.

Took me long enough. Thought it was like the fancy pooh bear meme or something.
Glasses can’t be that bad though right? This looks more like a scope.
Edit: oh shit, I still didn’t get it

In Russian part of the internet, that would be a "I'd plow her" meme. I don't know about this case. But I would.

A C F H K G X (I’m sure if I say random letters I’ll at least get some right!) - Sir this is a house, the letter test comes later…

Am I supposed to be able to read the address on the house?

I would have known if you used the hot air balloon picture instead.

Everyone else can see the giant albino half-babies too, right?
