If your retina is in focus to the machine, then the machine knows how good/bad your eyes are.

He's cute, she's even cuter! They way they realize is so sweet, and wonderful

I, myself, am severely near-sighted. I had a photo of me at around 2 yrs old: with glasses.
But I have no memory that far back remembering actually getting them!

All the ride home, I was chattering about what I could see for the first time.

The next day, I could see the chalkboard at school for the first time. It was a new world.
