Me sitting here at midnight, randomly finding this video and giving myself an eye test. 😂

[MSzat]

Passed every test. It's good to know my vision is in good condition

[DarthVader-zzlm]

As a person who has both astigmatism and myopia

I see this as a total win

[HybridReal]

I don’t need a home eye test. I already know the answer.

I’m blind.

3:45 this green dot test is actually awesome for something else entirely, just found out while keeping one eye closed at a time. For people with astigmatism, like myself, it shows an "echo", a double image of the green dot, weaker in color and overlapped on the original. The nice thing is, you can determine exactly at what angle your astigmatism is on each eye. For example, with my left eye open, the double appeared at 12 o'clock and with my right eye at 11 o'clock. I'm unsure how that transcribes with what eye doctors write on those charts, the "degrees".

you smiled so much during the video, you definitely enjoy educating others

[solitudegaming]

For somebody that spends most of their time in front of a screen, whether for work, school or gaming, I did pretty well on these. Thank you for the insight

[paulo]

If you made it this far into the video it may be that you have a crush on Dr. Chua.

[reynapizarro]

i accepted my fate that i have astigmatism at the first test but realized the video is in 144P😢

One thing to note is that this test works better if you're well rested. If you are up late watching youtube videos you might not get accurate results. Lack of sleep messes with your vision regardless of how good your eyesight is.

I had two different visual field tests at my ophtalmologist recently and passed both with perfect scores. Then I discovered Dr.Chua's youtube channel and did the visual field test. I was shocked that repeatedly with my left eye I saw only ten out of the eleven flashes. Called my eye doctor the next day and she explained that the testing machines in a doctor's office are programmed to compensate for the blind spot which every eye naturally has. A pre-recorded test on youtube is, of course, unable to do this, so if you're "unlucky" one of the flashes might be right on your blind spot which could lead to unnecessary worries. Still, the test in this film is the closest to a "real" visual field test I could find on the internet, and it's definitely a good thing he posted it. It should be noted though that eleven flashes are too little to check the entire visual field. If you don't see one of the flashes, chances are it's the blind spot, but I still strongly recommend you get a checkup by an ophtalmologist.

The fact that nobody talks about the book herbal magic unbound speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance

Your media team is so good. Lighting, editing, timing, sound, script. Wow.

[toomanyhobbies]

Thank you for those tests. They show that my eyes haven't changed in any significant way. I've had astigmatism all my life and it's very obvious here.

[captainparry]

lol i got worried cuz i saw only 10 with my left eye but i tried a third time and didnt skip his speaking and then finally saw the flash alhamdulilah allah has given me everything

[firefly]

The visual field test was tricky...I was seeing 12 with the right and 10 with the left. Then I focused better again and saw all 11 with both eyes. Very cool and useful home eye tests. Thank you!

[udbhavgaming]

I have amblyopia so it was just the test for my one eye wther it had other problems or not . my both eyes performed good in the test, right one was best, test is fun but yeah it cant be replaced by actual check up and we should get eye check ups at least once in a year👍👍👍👍👍

When he started showing the color palettes, I'm like, "Yes!" And then, he mentions people with Multiple Sclerosis. I deal with MS, yet I work with Photoshop and I can see colors extremely well, even despite wearing glasses. For his tests, I removed my glasses as he suggested. I covered my right eye. I saw the variation of the different colors, especially his last, which was blue. I saw that it was 1 and I was right. Even despite having been diagnosed in 2018, and possibly having developed it as early as possibly sometime in 2016 or 2017 without knowledge, I'm thankful that I haven't lost my ability to see the expanse of colors all around me.
