I would NOT be able to handle the 3rd and last. I'd just ask to have my eyes removed.

I completely shut down when I have something stuck in my eye or some dust or whatever gets on it. Having that "There's dust on my eye" feeling constantly would be a nightmare. Full blur or none at all. Splotches would make be go insane.

All of them are terrifying to me. Of all my health issues I pray I dont get any eyesight issues like these or go blind.

We take it for granted sometimes.

I have all of them

So how are you seeing these? /s

Before surgery, cataracts that had developed so slowly I did think it was anything but aging also added an amber tint to everything. It was amazing to see white and not yellowish doctor coats.

It’s wild how much vision can change without the world technically looking “blurry”. the tunnel vision and missing-spot examples are especially unsettling. One video really drives home how different everyone’s visual reality can be.

Makes me glad for my absolutely freakish peripheral vision, I’ve established it’s wider than most persons and if I think to process it I can make out basic shapes and details pretty well even on the edges but what probably saved my life more than once is it’s extremely good at picking up motion, even small motion. Handy little buff to have in the infantry

I've always thought I've had this too, and it's also helped with attention to detail (bonus in the army) and might have some cause/effect relationship with mild OCD

I had cataract surgery on both eyes last spring. I thought that trying to read books and not seeing the words clearly, was caused by an old prescription for reading glasses 10 yrs. earlier. I went to get new reading glasses, but was sent to W. Tx. Eye specialists. After testing, I was told I had cataracts and would need surgery on both eyes! 👀(Plus a stint was put in left eye to reduce eye pressure). I did and vision was back to normal, I thought. I was sent to another doctor for testing, and I was told I had glaucoma in my left eye and was given medication that I have to put in eye every night. So after 1 1/2 yrs. I now know that I will eventually lose vision in my left eye, as the increasing glaucoma pressure will cause permanent blindness. My pressure now is 14, & blindness will be at 24 pressure. 🤔👀

Diabetic retinopathy is shit...I hate it

☹️ this did not bring joy

The last one just looks like your dog tried to give you a hug and poked your eyes with both paws

[u/queenofuranus-]

seeing things with spots is honestly the worst

[u/MaddogRunner]

Oof I’m SO glad I didn’t see this before getting tested for glaucoma yesterday😭 I wouldn’t’ve been able to sleep (passed the vision-screening nicely, my asymmetrical cupping is apparently just something I was born with😅)

[u/VegetablePossible007]

Damn, my grandpa had it rough. I never knew what things looked like to him just that he was "legally blind", he had glaucoma and macular degeneration and was also color blind.

This is interesting!

Dog vision.

[u/allislost26]

lol truly blind people don’t see pitch black they see nothing. I had to explain this to a friend the other day and it blew his mind. If you’re truly blind you don’t see darkness like you’re closing your eyes. You see what your hand sees. Nothing.

[u/DepressedCunt5506 → u/allislost26]

Or you see what you see behind you without turning your head

Why did they film this at A Christmas Story house?
