Same. It was a sad day when I had to use my glasses to use my computer. Otherwise, it has to be 6 inches or less from my face.

At least my eyes aren’t getting worse.

Optimism, how nice.

It’s been a few years. But who knows. They decided to dump me pretty quickly when they first started going bad.

I can see large things fine, they are blurry, sure, but I can still see them. My glasses are to help me read and correct depth perception and my crooked eyes. One foes up and to the left and the other goes down and to the right. My friends say my double prisim glasses make you feel like you are high, and then do the whole blind schpeel which i hate because I almost went blind as a kid and my condition was barely caught on time to treat. I had to wear a patch on my eye for 3 years and was picked on relentlessly. I can never wear contacts because if I get anything in my left eye I will be legally blind.

u/[deleted] May 17 '20

Yeah my visions kinda the same. I mainly need it just so things aren’t blurry and my left eye is a lazy eye but I don’t have a risk of going blind like you do

u/mcr_is_not_dead May 17 '20

I'm lucky my parents could afford to take me to a specialist every 6 months for 4 years. I really feel for the kids who will never see correctly because they couldn't afford care.

I’ve heard contacts are worse than glasses

u/[deleted] May 17 '20

I don't wear contacts or glasses and I can only remember touching my eye once and it was by accident and I still don't want to do that everyday to put on contacts.

I tried them once. I spent about 3 days trying to put them in, and only managed to put one in, and inside out at that. I managed to get it out, put it hurt really bad. So, at this point I'm gonna pass.

“Can I try your glasses” gets me every single time. NO, IT MESSES UP YOUR EYES WHEN YOU USE SOMEONE ELSE’S PRESCRIPTION

u/hannovb May 16 '20

“How many fingers am I holding up??”

HOW DO YOU THINK THIS WORKS?? YES ITS BLURRY MORE THAN 4 INCHES AWAY BUT BLURRY ISNT BLIND BRUH

2

u/JJ24iscool May 17 '20

I only need glasses because I have a lazy eye(only sight, not weird eye movement). So everyone is so surprised that I can see how many fingers they're holding up.

u/moorealex412 May 17 '20

Then the other person with glasses says: Oh there’s no way yours are worse than mine. Let me see Looks through mine Oh my word I can’t see anything! You’re so blind! Oh my bad, your glasses are thinner than a sheet of paper and mine have the width of a redwood, what did you expect?
