eye test

Reading of letters on a plate about 6m away from you...
reading of some non-sense (from a book), at varying distances...
"detecting" an object entering your "perpheral field of vision" (from the corner of your eye.. so to speak..)
ummm... what else...
placing an odd ruler-like thing on your nose with a sliding thingy on it, and sliding the thingy closer and closer to your eyes until you can't see it sharply anymore...
colour vision with Ishihara plates (flicking through random pages of a book with numbers/figures/non-sense, I was shown 10 or so, with one second to identify each, no mistakes allowed... you won't have a problem with it if your colour vision is ok)..
various other tests to assess your eyes' health (looking into your eyes with various "tools"...).
I think LASIK *might* be detected with the slit lamp, which they do have and do use during the eye tests (I hate it because I can see the blood vessels in my eyes for a few seconds while they do it ).
Can't really think of any other tests right now... but do hope this helps somehow..
