Chinese people have vision problems but turns out they are! So if you have any doubt about your eyes make sure your prescription is up to date.
So do they have any alternative test for color-vision i.e. Farnsworth's lantern? How do they deal with a mild-HBP controlled with sartanics (no diuretics, no ABCs)?
