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

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

As a person who has both astigmatism and myopia I see this as a total win

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

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

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".

How many students are here📚

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

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

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

i send my blessings bro i hope these months are the best youll ever have

i only see the number 16, i also have astigmatism. i was always told i was deuteranomaly. ever since i was 12 and got tested. thank you im posting this for any skeptics or any people in denial. this is a real test. Thank you Dr Michael

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

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.

I like finding good helpful things online. There are many Dr sites that are helpful. Yours is also a great helpful site. Thanks for the eye exam

more than these tests, your smile attracts everyone's eyes....

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.

Fun! I got an “A” … for astigmatism.

I'm a med student and optho is the ONLY surge spec I'd consider. You guys are AWESOME and thank you for your extreme dedication to medicine!
