Poll: How blind are you?

[internetzealot1]

I've got great vision in one eye but I'm near blind in the other.

 

[MissGinaKid]

I can't see this E in the distance. Without my glasses I can see anything withen 7 inches of my face but now that I have reached maturity It should stay this way for awhile and not get worse untill I get alot older.

20/20 is not perfect is is average so for every person bellow that there has to a person above that. 20/20 is actually not that common because it is smack dab in the middle of all the eye sites or whatever. perfect vision would be able to see anything from any distance away unless there was an obstruction no one has that

Can you make the poll font bigger? I can't read it.

Badly myopic in one eye, or at least so I thought a few years ago. My weekly gaming group contains a diabetic (which causes vision problems; his good eye is worse than my bad eye) and someone who's legally blind, both of whom have deteriorating vision.

Now I don't feel like I'm so bad off. The fact that I can get by (but not legally drive) without my glasses if I need to makes me feel OK.

I can't see anything clearly past 2 feet ahead of me without glasses.

Lmao.

No, I can't. Sorry. You need to take that up with a moderator.

Without glasses/contacts I can't see 4 feet in front of me. I don't remember my exact score but I'm sure it's pretty bad.

 

[Phlakes]

Every eye test I've ever ever taken they've said I have perfect vision. I've never missed a letter on one of those charts, ever.

 

[Koroviev]

It started out as "Not terrible, but I need glasses or contacts at all times," but as evidenced by removing my glasses for a moment, it's definitely progressed to "Do you see that big 'E'? Well, I don't."

 

[Koroviev]

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...

When I finally received glasses, the first thing I noticed was that trees actually had texture. It was like I had been living in a low-res video game without even realizing it.

 

[Marter]

I've been told that my eyesight isn't perfect any more. Apparently I'm supposed to get headaches if I read, and should get glasses.

Too bad that doesn't happen, so I don't wear glasses for reading. =D

 

[Blemontea]

I just need them to see anything past my arms length.
One thing that annoys me though is that when people put on my glasses and say "Whoah man you are blind" it pisses me offf becuase the ones that usually do it don't were glasses so they have no frame of reference... Pisses me off.

 

[spartan1077]

I need my glasses for far seeing but I always wear my glasses because they make me look older and I don't like straining my eyes look at things far off without my glasses.

 

[Koroviev]

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 laughed at this.

 

[misterbobperson]

20/20
all of siblings need glasses
I was the only one of our siblings to stare at the sun
coincidence? I think not

 

[gigastar]

My eyes are as probably close as they can get to perfection.

Best comparison I can think to give is that I can read size 16 font at a distance of about 5 meters.

Also I can conciously control the focus of my lenses, for what thats worth.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Less than a year ago my eyesight was quite poor. I had a correction of -6.75 in one eye and -6.25 in the other. If something was further than a foot or so from my face (this is not an exaggeration) I probably couldn't see it. Apparently feeling guilty that they were unable to help pay for my college education, my parents and grandparents pitched in and ponied up the cash to get laser surgery and today I have 20/15 vision.

I had a similar experience when I first received glasses. Since I had never worn them before I didn't know that I was missing out on details others could see.

 

[BlackWidower]

I used to think I had 20/20 vision. Then my mom took me to an optometrist. Heh heh heh.

I'm glad, I've always wanted an excuse to wear glasses...so sexy.

Now if only I could find those fuckers.
