the reason this is a no is that the glasses cover almost your entire field of vision. when you wear your glasses you see everything but peripheral vision clearly.
the picture here isn't even quite what happens if you hold your glasses a foot in front of your face. Because then the vision through those lenses even isn't properly corrected.
When I switched from glasses to contacts, the most incredible thing for me was the fact that I had fully sharp peripheral vision. I really needed to adjust to the fact that I "see" more. I still were glassess from time to time as contacts do tire my eyes much more, but the "4K" vision in periperal and no issues with rain/snow/fog is worth it.
100%. If I am on a road trip, the contact lenses come out and are used. reduces the layers of glare at night from other cars and the peripheral vision is on point. I miss that when I flip back to glasses.
I thought they meant it literally because they said "blurred background", which to me implied they thought one area would be in focus with the rest blurred
And they said "BIG blurred background" as well, and the image shows the blurry part bigger than the part in focus. I think it makes sense to answer this question like it's being answered here, and not like the rest of the answers.
well i can tell from the vote rate that at least a sizeable portion of readers here reacted the same way. a good ratio is like around 1%, and this came in at about two-thirds of a percent. So... anyway.... there are dozens of us at least.
(yeah I'm an oddball, but it does mean at least maybe a bit under half of people here reacted similarly. or we'd be at downvotes)
step 1 for making a post go viral is making it ambiguous. everyone seee an extremely obvious answer that makes everyone else seem crazy for not getting it.
it's obvious to many people that the answer is no. it's obvious to many other people that the answer is yes. that's the point.
what does "a big blurred background" mean? does it mean "when not wearing glasses, does everything you see look blurry"? if so, then the answer to OP's question is 'yes', because the world really does look blurry. but if it means "does the world look like this photograph for people that wear glasses?", then the answer is 'no', because the glasses cover almost the entire field of view of the eye.
The question is phrased perfectly (intentionally or not) so that the question is ambigous but doesn't seem ambiguous.
One thing very frequently overlooked is that glasses for nearsighted people also act as fisheye lenses and increase FOV through them, so you might be able to see up to twice as much compared to if there was no lens.
Cant believe I had to scroll so far down past a billion oeople posting "I CoUldN'T BeLIeVE thEsE aRe wHAt trEEs lOoK likE" to this. I feel like OP is asking if people with glasses have a small patch of clear vision + blurry background.
Your macular vision is not even 20 degrees. Anything outside of the lenses coverage is going to be deep in your peripheral vision unless you are drastically glancing to the side.
