Nope. Very poor vision over here. I had a lazy eye that I believe was caused by me not catching a baseball in time, smacked right into my face... Anyway. One of my eyes kinda wanders off, and had declining vision until my other eye started to compensate and also worsened in condition. Noticed that I couldn't read street signs from across a street-that's when I realized I was going blind, and got my parents to buy me glasses.

Haven't been tested in a long time, but I can see things at a distance that other people have trouble making out, so I think I'm better than normal.

I used to when I was a kid I would always sit there and eat a bowl of carrots right before I went in. That only worked till 7th grade then I needed glasses for far away things.

Nope. Without glasses, I can't recognize people as actually people, or cars as actually car, even when only a couple feet away, and can't read the big "E" on the eye test poster.

With glasses, I can see a lot better, and tell what objects are, but need a magnifying glass to read and make out details. With glasses I have trouble with street signs until we're right up near them. So far my vision is corrected to the greatest amount possible with glasses.

I don't know what mine is. I tested marginal for glasses but gave up because I could never get used to them. Gave me freaking headaches.

I have astigmatism but it really only bothers me when I have to read those annoying white-on-green reflective highway signs at night. I also have lots of floaters that are annoying sometimes.

With glasses on.

I don't wear them much, however, as I like people being a blur.

I don't know but I sometimes have trouble focusing on hings, it is like my eyes do not want to focus and it is hard, I have reading glasses for when I need to read for a length of time. Of course I broke one of the nose things within a week of getting them last year.

It's the same with and without glasses for me
