Monroe or Einstein: Check If You Need Glasses at Your PC

Post by Stuart »

You probably know whether or not you're near-sighted, but some people get so used to seeing things a certain way that they ignore a vision problem, squint a lot, and end up with unnecessary eye strain at the computer. The double-image [here] cuts straight to the point: If you see Albert Einstein while sitting a normal distance from your computer, you're seeing things as you should. If you see Marilyn Monroe, you should probably be wearing glasses or contacts.

I've removed my glasses and walked as far back as I can from my screen and I can still only see Einstein. If I focus my vision to make things as blurry as I can I can sort of see Monroe.

I'm severely short-sighted and I see Einstein. Without my glasses grom 1.2 m away.

Eye test fail.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

I can see Marilyn in the smaller version on the right when I move away.

I have to move a good 3-4 meters away before I see Monroe.
