I found out I needed glass when I tried my friend's glasses for fun and saw better with them. Twas very depressing actually, realizing I've seen stuff wrong for so many years. Things is I only have -1, so it's not bad enough to significantly affect daily life, tho it is significant enough in how I experience views. Now when I travel I always have a pair with me for whenever I truly want to enjoy the sight of something. Otherwise I avoid my glasses like the plague.
Also -1 here. I was convinced throughout my studies that my university was being super cheap on the projectors, getting always some shitty, soft ones. Ranted about it the whole time. Wish it was the beamers.
My third grade teacher was getting mad at me for several weeks for reading my own books in class until she asked me WHY I suddenly wasn't paying attention and I told her it was because I couldn't see the board.
I'm still curious about what exactly went through her head in that moment because her facial expression was wild. Some combination of "I'm sorry for assuming" and "this fucking kid..." I have to assume.
This is similar to me. My mom was even grumpy with me but I was like how was I supposed to know. It's gotten worse now and I actually need them to see small text on screens but I can still function without them. I wear them so my vision doesn't get worse from straining though.
Very similar story here, when I finally had glasses it was so weird to realise that stars aren't blurry, and it's in fact normal to be able to see individual leaves on trees, but I never noticed I needed them for many years, because everyday life wasn't affected for me.
Yea... The sky in general is completely different. Knowing that clouds are actually sharp and don't look like cotton candy was quite a shock. Like all those old paintings make soo much more sense now.
