The Eye Test

An optician was performing a complete physical, including the visual acuity test. He placed the patient twenty feet from the chart and began, “Cover your right eye with your hand.”

The man read the 20/20 line perfectly.

“Now your left.”

Again, a flawless read.

“Now both,” The optician requested.

There was silence. The man couldn’t even read the large E on the top line. The optician turned and discovered that the man had done exactly what he’d been asked: he was standing there with both his eyes covered.his eyes covered.
