Being someone who has a certain bias for precision, I am greatly frustrated by eye exams. The seemingly loose nature of the process causes me to feel as I would if an internal medicine physician, in the course of a diagnostic procedure, kept asking, "Well, what do you think it is?"
I don't know what it is, especially when the eye wizard is flipping lenses around and demanding that I distinguish between the indistinguishable.
"I think the first one was better," I mumble although that comment is only a faint shadow of a whisper of a guess. It's all rock-and-roll to me.
But I'd prefer that it be more like Star Trek.

My eye doctor uses a machine to do this now. Feels like Star Trek to me! The machine measures my optimal vision setting and prints it out for him. Then he dials the result into the "this or that" tool and asks me to confirm whether I like it! It's nice to have the option to be as blurry as I want.
Mine may use the same machine, but still gets into flipping lenses. That's the part that seems a little primitive to me.
