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.

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...

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

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

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 :p

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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

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.
