A little pullback

For the last couple days I've felt my vision wasn't quite as good as it was last week, but I keep not having time to do Macguyver tests to back that up.

...until now

Left eye:

12pt: 56% (previous best: 80.6%. Last saturday afternoon: 68%)

18pt: 97% (previous best: 92%. Last saturday afternoon: 92%)

27pt: 93% (previous best: 97%. Last saturday afternoon: 96%)

All others: 100%

So it got a little worse in my left eye, although a direct comparison to Saturday afternoon last week indicates that it's only a very small amount worse in the 12pt category (68->56), and a wash in the other categories. I'll try to remember to do this again tomorrow morning when my vision tends to be strongest.

Right eye:

12pt: 79% (previous best: 76%. Glasses: 91%)

18pt: 100% (previous best: 100%. Glasses: 97%)

All others: 100%

After the left eye which felt blurry and ghosty, the right eye felt absolutely crystal clear. Obviously not that crystal clear because I still missed 1-in-5 letters and am still underperforming my glasses, but I could see (without straining) details like the white space in between the tines of uppercase E, when normally I'm just inferring it's an E based on the shape. It was very cool, and I hope there are more performances like that in my future.

Quality report: I feel like a 79% success rate understates how good my right-eye vision was, and I also feel like the 56% success rate overstates how good my left-eye vision is. I had very little confidence with each 12pt letter in my left eye. Pretty much everything got guessed as an I or f (tall skinny letters), a, s, or z (compact letters), and it feels like I got lucky that they actually were. The right eye only messed up tough-to-distinguish letters like lowercase r and and lowercase i and j, which look very similar in the font I use for the test.
