Thought Blu-ray would be better? Try getting your eyes checked

The quality of a Blu-ray disc compared to a DVD, or high-def TV compared to standard-def TV is astounding. But get this:

Phillip Hyde, dispensing optician and head of professional services at Vision Express, said: 'Even a marginally short-sighted person sitting on a sofa watching an HD broadcast may not see the full benefits in enhanced image quality.

'A small change in prescription can potentially make a big change in the quality of the picture that you see.

'If you're investing in HDTV, you ought to have your eyes checked to make sure you get the full benefit.'

In a nutshell--if you need glasses and don't have them, you're wasting money on HD.
