A sore subject
.
I had 20/20 until about 3 or 4 years ago, it was getting noticeably crap (especially things like screens at a distance) and I was getting headaches, which I suspected was eyestrain, so I got tested and have had glasses for a few months now. I'm used to them at this point.
My prescription is pretty mild (-1.50 both eyes, 0.5 astigmatism) but since getting used to being able to see well, I feel really blind without them
.
On the plus side, my corrected vision is actually better than 20/20
.
Also I should blatantly NOT have been driving without them, especially at night... Sometimes I like to peek out from behind them to remember what things used to look like and... ****... I really couldn't see at night in the car
. The combination of the sort of "lens flare" effect of astigmatism, plus short sightedness, makes everything just a confusing blur of headlights. Weeee.
