Because there is usually one weak eye. Sometimes its a huge difference.

There are a variety of charts. Simply call the doctor's office and ask the receptionist for your acuity -- it will be on your exam record.

Because even if one eye is really bad your other eye will correct for its deficiencies and you will be thinking that both eyes are OK.

each eye had different ranges of vision and are independent of each other.
