Another anecdote: I developed myopia in high school and college, where it became progressively more difficult to read what was written on blackboards and transparency projectors. I resolutely refused to get glasses. By the time I got my first pair of glasses at 25, my prescription was around -3.25 in both eyes.
- perlancar3 5y agoWow, I wonder how you got by. I'm useless when I had -2 or -3 myopia: couldn't recognize people's faces, couldn't read signs. With -3 I think your computer screen even looks blurry.
- legerdemain 5y agoWith significant difficulty! I was very bought into the idea that glasses make your vision worse. By the time I got my glasses, I couldn't read the menus that fast food restaurants post overhead or enjoy board games with friends (requires reading small text on the playing pieces).
