[Avodah] Halachic ramifications of vision strength (from areivim)

[harchinam]

I am not a posek nor the son of a posek :-), but it would seem logical to
me based on my understanding that many things, such as "can see
Yerushalayim" or "can see 3 stars" would be understood to be with normal
eyesight, but if we are alone and there is no one to ask, no watches or
clocks, and we must rely on what we can see it would go by what we
personally can see.

As far as bugs go, I would have to say that two things would seem logical
to me: That bugs that can be seen by someone with normal vision are assur
and that if you are standing alone in your house and you look really,
really well and hold a date [or whatever] up to the light and your vision
is not as good as it could be and you might miss a bug that your neighbor
could have seen [but he wasn't around to ask] that you would be able to eat
it b'dieved because I can't imagine that we are required to starve unless
we have 20/20 vision.
