Poll: How blind are you?

[Gavmando]

I used to need glasses, but then I got laser eye surgery.

...Laser eye surgery hurts. Dont believe anyone who tells you any differently.

I CAN see without my glasses, but it is pretty blurry.
I wouldn't be able to read a sign or watch tv from across the room. But I could get by pretty easily.

Sometimes when light hits my face in a certain way, I can actually see little black squiggles, like my eyeballs are covered in scratches.
So that's cool.

Those are called floaters, they are relatively benign pieces of debris caught in the vitreous fluid in your eye. I say relatively because being able to see them even in dark situations along with a drop in eyesight prescription indicates possible future detachment of your retina. I have them too.
To answer the OP, really fuckin blind.

I wear distance glasses when I can be arsed to put them on, mostly use em for cinema or lectures at uni. I keep meaning to get another eye test though cause I might need stronger ones... They aren't to strong but I struggle reading from a distance.

20/20 but I think it's getting worse.

 

[Lilani]

My contact prescription is -10.5, which is pretty bad. And my eyes got bad pretty quick as a kid. My eyes were officially worse than my grandmother's when I was 9 years old.

Excellent eyesight. Although I am colorblind. Where's the option for that, huh? HUH?


I stand for the ACBP. Advancement of ColorBlind People. Also, we have an awesome logo. We think it's red.

I have 20/13 vision, better than average.

 

[DanielBrown]

Perfect 20/20, but lately I've noticed that I have to focus more to read. Especially in WoW when there's a tooltip to read. I have to lean forward and really concentrate. ._.

 

[Chaos Bringer]

The last one.

My eye sight isn't perfect, but I can see without my glasses. Not very well at all, but my vision doesn't suddenly go away when I take them off.

 

[Hallow'sEve]

It depends on which eye I'm looking through

(seriously, I'm farsighted in one eye and nearsighted in the other)

 

[Kuroneko97]

I am a mix of "Do you see that Big E?" and Legally Blind." I can make out people and buildings without my glasses (or contacts, if I'm using them), But I don't think I could drive without them. Everything is a blur without glasses. I think both my eyes are about 75/75. From what I hear, that's very bad.

I plan on getting eye surgery when I'm old enough.

My eyesight is terrible. I can't even see the big fat ass top letter on the board in the Opticians. My ex nearly cried when she came to one of my appointments and realized how blind I am.

 

[hudsonzero]

no option for Amblyopia, so I can not vote

 

[Shadow_Bunnies]

I used to need glasses when I was like 5 but my eyes auto-fixed themselves and I now have perfect 20/20 vision

 

[Fawful]

I've never had my eyesight tested before but I have no trouble with reading at anything other than super-super-long range and have no problems that I can tell with my vision. I'm not blind at all.

 

[Novania]

I need my glasses to see things clearly from about 6 inches away from my face....everything is blury but i can still make out shapes and colours easily. I just miss the details.

One of the happiest moments of...you get the idea....was when i tried contacts and i literally screamed "Holy crap I have peripheral vision!!!!"

Twas a great day...

 

[Macgyvercas]

I have glasses, but only wear them to do one of two things:

1) To see distance
2) To look intelligent/nerdy

 

[DoomCaek]

Without my glasses things would have to be within a distance of 20 centimeters (7-8 inches) for me to see it clearly. Otherwise it gets very blurry.

I have had glasses since I was 4 years old and my eyesight gets worse as I get older :/

I chose "do you see that E? I don't" option because even though things are extremely blurry, I can still walk around having an idea about where I am. (in places I have been many times before, that is)

But it really sucks when I can't find my glasses

Perfect 20/20, although it seems I am capable of noticing higher framerates on TV's than most people, I tried a 3DTV and could actually tell it was unsynchronised for both eyes.

For those who don't know how 3DTV works now: it uses 120hz (double the old framerate) and flickers between 2 different polarisations of light and one frame passes through one of the 3D glasses lenses, and the next frame goes through the other lense. I however can see this alternating eye technology and therefore cannot watch 3DTV due to my eyes being too good. How very annoying.
