They say with 20/20 vision you can see the house. Beyond 20/20, you can see the child waving at you from the window. Some can even see the shadow figure standing behind the child. Those patients exhibit unpredictable reactions that are often problematic for the examiner. Thus, the AOA has agreed to perpetuate the myth of ‘optimal’ 20/20 vision to the public.

@miguelpereira9859 There's a part of eye tests where they show you a picture of something. Whether you see a house (this person called it a barn), hot air balloon, or something else doesn't matter. They just need your eyes still for the test. The pictures the use vary, so people see different things. People find it weird and creepy that people see different things. It's kind of like a creepypasta.

The animation’s last part combined with the description of this video makes me believe that the former farmer regrets doing a certain thing that ended up with him in prison. I think that those people reminded him of his family, maybe that’s why his expression softened. He looks sad though, hopefully not depressed. Edit: Other people are commenting that he ended the lives of his own family in some way. I definitely think he feels guilty, and not just a little bit either.

This video is my nightmare, and I can’t explain exactly why.
Judging by the sky at the end, I'm assuming this is still part of the Interface world The guy is the ringleader from Dreamland. I'm making the assumption based off his ruggishly handsome appearance. And the fact the hot air balloon was pink, a similar color motif in the episode

I love this video, its so charming! I love the animation and music you chose for it because its so calming. I take regular eye exams because of my chronic illness so seeing the classic barn house with the hot air balloon is such a common sight to me but i log ehow people made it into a mew thing. For those unaware, the machine reads the pressure of both of your eyes and there are also alternatives for those too scared and unable to do so. The machine referenced is very old, but still used today in modern eye practices and relies on the machine tracking down your eye, so you have to keep it open for a while while it reads the pressure by the puff of air (annoying)
