POLL: Do you cheat at the eye doctor?

Last time I was at the eye doctor (couple of years ago) she said I have "perfect" vision, so no need to cheat 🙂
 
Heck no. I try to relax and just look. My optometrist always reminds patients not to squint. Why would I go there, squint for the test, and end up with a prescription for my contacts that requires me to squint to see properly when I don't walk around squinting?
 
all the eye doctors around here have been using the same chart. D E F P O T E C. I've got the 20/20 line memorized so yes, when I go to the eye doctor I feel like I am cheating.
 
What you gotta do is, when they leave you in the room and the eye doctor hasn't come yet, you take a quick peek at the chart behind you (in front of you is a mirror reflecting the chart) and memorize the lowest lines.

Said Eye Doctor comes in and asks you to read the lowest line possible so you promptly spit out the bottom line "E R A F O T S I." Then the doctor asks you to read the 2nd line from top and you slowly stumble your way through "G...or is that a C, O, P...ermm..wait that last one might just be a Q..."
 
Why the hell would you cheat? Then you'll just get a screwed up prescription... If you're at the DMV I can see cheating since then you can get approval to drive without needing glasses. But you don't gain anything by cheating at the Eye doctor except a prescription that won't help you see as well.
 
I exaggerate some of the errors I have simply because the prescriptions never last more than four months but I'm only allowed one pair a year...
 
Why would I cheat at the eye doctor?!? There is a much better chance my girlfriend would catch me if I did that. I usually cheat in my car or at my house.
