I accompanied my Dad on a visit to one of his eye
doctors
many years ago. Shortly after starting the exam, the doctor
lowered the room lights, had my Dad cover his "good" eye,
then held his hand up and waved his fingers: "Can you
see my hand, Donald?" I chuckled thinking it was a joke :-(
Before I got LASIK, with my glasses off, I couldn't see the big "E" at
the top of the chart. From fifteen feet away, I could tell a person was
standing there, but seeing their hand would be pushing it. I certainly
would have had a hard time recognizing who it was.
