How is your Eyesight?

[Caite-chan]

I have a lazy left eye and can see okay with my glasses off.

Bad enough to need glasses, but not so bad I can't see without them. iirc I got a combo of near-sightedness and astigmatism. If I take my glasses off, everything gets just a little blurrier, but the stuff farther away is worse.

Convergence issues in the one eye, Currently treating myself with a program from my doctor. Hopefully it improves in time for my fall classes.

At the age of 25 I started getting strange persistent headaches every now and then. I thought it was because I forgot to keep my coffee addiction up on the weekends but it didn't seem to completely explain it. I even got proper migraines with aura (partial loss of sight/feel) sometimes.

A couple of years ago, my friend who is an optician convinced me to let her examine me. She came to the conclusion that I'm extremely far-sighted and has some kind of other issue causing things to be blurry, so my eye-muscles were basically working hard to compensate every time I opened my eyes, and worked in exhausting overdrive whenever I read things closely, such as on a screen.

Solution: Rika became a person who wears glasses fulltime and who wears stronger reading glasses whenever they are at the computer or whenever they think they will stare at their phone or a book for longer times. Their reading glasses are +2 or +2.5 iirc depending on if they're at work (slightly closer to the screen) or at home (slightly further).

I'm kind of cute in glasses so it's fine. But I do miss being able to easily hug/kiss others without the glasses being in the way ;; that's srsly the biggest downside haha. That, and the fact that I see worse in the dark through glasses than with unobscured eyes.

I'm near-sighted, have worn glasses since around 8 years old. I wear them most of the time, I'm weirded out about the idea of putting contacts in my eyes, maybe I'll try them someday, I don't know. But there are many nice frames available now so I don't mind wearing mine.

Not too bad, but I can't see clearly very far away. I've forgotten how good/bad my vision is. I wear Ortho-k contacts though, so they're getting better gradually.

Pretty bad, I 100% need a new prescription because I can't read a lot of signs or text that's just a bit farther away even with glasses on, just haven't had time to go to the optometrist

Well into the legally blind territory, without my grasses. Something like 20/400 in both eyes, maybe more. Two feet in front of me and I can't read anymore lol, my optometrist once told me my eyes were 'tubular', which immediately reminded me of bender from futurama. wish i could screw them out like he does and do something funny

I actually have been told my eye sight is excellent. It's been ages since I've had them tested, but I don't think anything changed enough that I have to get them rechecked.

My eyesight is terrible to the point where I can barely function without my glasses. For example, when I broke my glasses earlier this year I could barely make out my friends's faces from three metres away, couldn't use my laptop properly without using something like 500% zoom, and was just generally miserable. That said, my eyesight hasn't gotten any worse for a few years now, so hopefully nothing changes in that regard.
