Being an eye-challenged person (nothing that can't be corrected or otherwise dealt with), I am frequently subjected to a glaucoma screening test that is known colloquially as "the fishbowl". Cover one eye with a patch, put your head inside the "fishbowl", and push a little button whenever you see a light flash anywhere inside the fishbowl.
Sounds pretty simple, right? Everyone I know who has been through this hates the fishbowl passionately. One person breaks out in a cold sweat before going through it.
So I guess that would tend to confirm your statement :)
