Weird thing is I can read a road sign from 200 yards, and see my golf ball land (albeit not all that far away). I like to sit up high at the hockey and football games, to see the whole ice / field.
One of the best lines I ever used, years ago on seeing an optometrist. He must have been a lazy SOD, as he asked me "Read the line with the smallest print that you can see". So I sat there, pretended to squint, and then I replied "Printed in Canada".
