Is there such a test?   What would the veterinarian look for?  I have a 
particularly spooky horse and I've wondered about her eyesight.  She will do 
a lightening flash roll-back if she meets anything going around a corner. 
She ducks and dekes at most everything when she is the lead horse or on her 
own - from a distance - once we get close up and she can see it, she is 
fine.  Behind another horse - she couldn't care less.

I've thought about asking my vet to check her eyesight but is there a test 
for far sightedness and if so, what could he do about it?
