How good is your eyesight?

[gundershot]

-3.5 on both eyes 

 

The rate at which my degree increases has really decreased though, so I think it's more due to genetics and puberty rather than anything else. My parents blame the amount of time I spend on my PC despite them having larger degrees when they were my age.

The funny thing is that most adults that say that usually wear glasses from years of reading extensively on low light.

Due to go in for an exam soon, my contacts are currently -3.75 in my right, -4.5 in my left. No idea what my glasses are, but I know they're slightly different. And my contacts aren't completely cutting it anymore.

I also have some nice, bright blue eyes, that are more sensitive to light than a vampire's skin. I have to wear sunglasses in natural light. Indoors, unless it's really well lit, I'm fine, and love that I can take my sunglasses off, because I feel like I look like a douche with them on constantly, even on rainy days and such. Even though people generally say I look fine with them on.

Astigmatisms in both eyes, getting hard contacts next time I go in. My soft ones have been sliding on my eyeballs recently.

My eyesight is fairly bad, but not so bad I cant see.  Stuff that is like 2 metres away is blurry but I dont wear glasses.

I have some of the most powerful human eyes on record.

I have 20/11 in both eyes, 1 degree wider foveal vision, and 10 degrees wider peripheral vision and I have a genetic mutation that caused a small count of the cones in my eyes to see a lower band of UV lighting.

It's odd because real world settings and pictures from digital cameras look so different to me because digital images on computers don't care UV information.

I can take pictures of things and it looks very different from what I actually see in person.

My eyes are so powerful that I actually have to wear amber glass lense glasses to help reduce the strain on my eyes and brain or else I get insanely bad migraines.

It was the migraines when I was a little kid that lead to a few optometrists to take a look at my eyes and do test, low and behold, turns out I have incredible eyes.

I have a very strong preference for purple objects and colors because of my eyes.

Wow that's interesting. Where did you find out you had the most powerful eyes? 

[FranBunnyFFXII]

Edited my most that explained that, sorry didn't think about adding that till a bit ago.

And I don't have the most powerful eyes, Women with Tetrachormacy do, tetrachromat can see 10 distinct color vision variations including UV band.

the assumed human limit to vision is probably 20/10 though.

[Yummychickenblue]

Both eyes suck at reading 2 cm in front of me. Luckily I wear contacts so nobody thinks I look like an idiot.

Glasses don't make you look like an idiot!

 

I have a genetic problem called Achromatopsia so I have red tinted glasses.  B)

[EmotionalSloth]

Not awful but noticeably bad when I am not using my contacts.

Im not even going to lie.. This popped into my head when i read the red tinted glasses part 

 

Achromatopsia does sound a bit cooler than Photophobia though.. 

Everytime i mention it people think im afraid of cameras or framed pictures..

Adele, the singer, has Photophobia. Which leads me to believe that you might be Adele...

Nope. That ain't me  

But damn.. Photophobia and a stage performer.. If they pointed those spotlights at me i'd probably be on the floor in agony  <_<

Yeah, it's a really bad combination.

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

Well my contacts are both -3.75 so 17.25, 17.25 vision I guess. My left eye is getting a little blurrier though so I need to upgrade to 1440p. 

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

I'll be blind by 30 at this rate

[techswede]

Yeah, it's a really bad combination.

Especially if she's got the same level of problems with it as i do.

Technically im supposed to wear these when im outside. 

But since they're not prescription lenses i always have to switch to my normal 5% tinted glasses when im driving. So i always forget to bring them.. And i look like a douche in them

1440p is nice when you've got bad vision if you use some kind of contrast balancer to reduce eye strain. I can have my monitor further away from me and the text is clear enough for me not to have to strain my eyes too much to read it

But i suppose 1080p would work quite well too

[PhantomChevron]

I can see fine, since I look away some times

[Alec Harpers]

My eyesight is pretty good.

So good that I can see into your soul...

[Imaginaerum]

Its been proven many times that spending time in front of a pc (With the correct lighting in the room) does nothing to your eyes long term. Most peoples sight issues are genetic or not adequate lighting when on the PC. As mammals our eyes suck we are still in the early stages of evolution from underwater eyes to eyes that work out of the water.

Where the are your sources for any of this? I don't disagree with the computer part, but the evolution part. I've never heard that before (not saying I disagree with evolution).

 

Anyway my vision was officially 20/18 at a test a month ago but I'm colorblind so I guess I can't say it's perfect.

[Kingofpants]

-2.75/-2.75

Its okay, not terrible, Have to wear glasses to read Text in windows explorer and stuff if at a decent distance from the monitor screen

[Snickerzz]

Horrible, i really need to get glasses XDD

[Tocsin_786]

last time i took a reading test in the nurses office. she said i had 20-20. idk how good that is but i have good eyesight

[catbutts]

I'm basically blind without glasses.

[The_Strict_Nein]

-3.75, -3.5

 

Also have astigmatism

 

I'm pretty fucked without glasses

Yeah 1080p's fine since it's so close, anything more than 1 and a half meters away, even with glasses or my contacts, is blurry in my left eye.
