I have kind of odd vision. My right eye is perfect 20/20, my left eye is fuzzy as a puppy. Plus, my eyes don't focus at the same length so I have hideously poor depth perception, to the point where the state won't give me a driver's license (and rightly so---with my ability to judge distance, I'd get into a lot of wrecks and run a lot of red lights.)

With - 10,5 and - 15, everything is a shapeless blur without my glasses.

If you are asking about my eyesight I say 3 Not terrible - I can see without my glasses but i am prescribed to wear them at all times. The real problem however is my depth perception - I am short sighted in one eye and long sighted in the other so while i may not know how far things are from me my 2D vision is fairly excellent (especially LS eye when aiming at targets)

But yeah my depth perception is so bad my doctor was amazed i could walk as a child...

I don't need glasses, but my eyesight isn't perfect. I think we use a different system to measure it, ours go from 0 to 2,5. I think I had 1,3 last time I got checked, which I think was a bit below average for people my age.

Sadly im in the same boat if you look at my own post (though i do have a provisional license (UK) i have no plans on endangering the lives of others or myself by attempting to learn.

I see reasonably well long distances, and I read perfectly. (LE: -1,50, RE: -1,75).
I still wear contacts all day though.

Possibly better, never had a problem with seeing anything.

And they told me that playing too many videogames was bad for my eyes.

My eyesight's pretty bad, at least compared to most people I know. There's only 4 people I know with worse vision than myself.

Without my glasses or contacts, I can barely see two feet away.

I'm pretty massively short-sighted, but I'm fine without my glasses, I still wear them all the time though, I just feel uncomfortable without them.
Ive been wearing glasses for 18 years (since i was 4) and ive yet to feel comfortable with them on so i envy you for having the opposite problem...

Can't see much without my glasses. I could if I wanted go around an entire day without them, but I wouldn't be able to read anything or see much of anything. Can't read my screen without them.

I have to make-do without my glasses every once in a while, since I'm a huge fan of cosplaying, and most of the costumes I do don't include glasses, sure I could by lenses, but that's expensive; I usually have to stumble about conventions blind. When you can't see, you squint, right? Most of the time you squint subconsciously to try and read things. Funny story in this is that there is a girl who frequents swedish conventions who to this day thinks I hate her because I squinted at her to see who she was and she thought I was glaring.

I have a mild myopia. I managed to pass my drivers test without any glasses, so I don't have that restriction on my license. I usually use them at night and when I'm driving somewhere I've never been before anyway, because I can't read signs without them. I also usually need them in school, especially if I'm not at the very front end of the room.

Very bad eyesight, need to wear strong glasses. But I have unusally good hearing and sense of direction, which is good I guess.
I am also a ninja, shhhhhhh

I'm strange. I'm only half-blind. One of my eyes is extremely short-sighted. I can see less than a foot in front of me without my glasses. My left eye can see fine, but if it had a videogame sliderbar for depth of field, it'd be a shade lower than infinite.
