People with really bad vision: Do you ever think how lucky you are?

Glasses were only invented in the 13th century. For most of human existence, I would have been basically blind. That freaks me out.

Yeah, but you could bang IRL 2s and not know any better, so you'd be getting a lot more action than guys who could see.

I often think about how in the hell I would survive without them. My prescription is -6.00. I'm worthless without them. Do you think eyes deteriorate faster when they are being aided by glasses?

Lucky is the opposite of what I would consider my terrible vision. Also, you should start less threads

I just don't think I could live with my current level of nearsightedness if didn't have an aid. It's crazy to think about.

Yeah. This is me. I'm -6.00 and -7.00. I can't even find my glasses if I don't know exactly where I put them when I went to bed.
Eye doctor gets mad at me for sleeping in my contacts, but I'm out of it enough already when my alarm goes off. If I can't see shite, I'm going to go back to sleep without even thinking about it.

My best friend is blind. He was always legally blind and now at about 95%. He struggles with depression and he lives with his mom. I pick him up on weekends ( when I'm not working) He's a great guy ....funny, knows more about sports then most people, just an all around good guy. We are both in our late 40's and have been best friends since we were 12. I really wish I could find him a good woman but that isn't an easy task

A cure would be whenever my doctor tells me I can finally get lasik. I fear that day may never actually come

You are a fricking good dude. I knew a couple of blind people in college. I would give them rides and stuff, but it was really grueling.

Yeah I can't imagine actually being blind with no hope for aid or the like. I'm lucky I have the tools I do to help me see.

Wish I could find another one and not screw it up again.

I have thought about this kind of thing recently...during the days when you had to hunt to survive, anyone who could not see well would have just starved to death...
of course, that was the time before modern dentistry, so most would have died from a simple abscessed tooth or something like that anyway...

i'm blessed to have great vision
i did think about this after watching the world's end this weekend, though (scene at the end had glasses w 2 types of glass)
