LAAAASER VIIIIIISION!: The Sci-Fi Eye Chart

Note: Much larger version HERE in case you're actually an optometrist and want to print it out and use it.

This is a sci-fi eye chart. WTF's a sci-fi eye chart? I'm glad you asked, because now I have the perfect opportunity to try out this new copy/paste feature my teacher just told us about. I'm taking evening classes to learn computer!

Part optometrist's chart, part geek quiz and part typography nerd poster, this Sci-fi Eye Test features 36 letters pulled from the logos of games, comics and movie titles.

Not to brag or anything, but I identified all of them. I'm talking EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Plus the background. Hoth, amirite?!

Sci-Fi Eye Test [bite]

Thanks to Erin and pinkman, who have better than perfect vision thanks to laser retinas.
