I asked the Optician this when she asked if I had any illnesses etc. For the previous 4 days I had a stomach bug. She replied no but surely lack of fluids can mean your vision blur/skewer the results?

I'm no optician but from experience, I can confirm that dry eyes does impact on quality of vision. Try some eye drops and see if your eyesight improves.

So the trained and qualified optician says no, but STW and the collective know better?

You don't need an eye test! The saddle needs to be flat, the stem needs flipping, the bars need rotating down, you need to sell it and buy the next size up.
You're welcome.

Check the ground is level first, and adjust suss for proper sag.

The good news is masturbation doesn't damage your eyesight.

Hora the hydration 'could' affect the amount you see ie less than 20:20 vision, however it would be unlikely (as your optom said) to affect the actual prescription which is based on the curvature of the lense on the front of your eye
