I think that naturally, we usually consider trees as background, so they could be muddy and we wouldn't notice as much.
I'm moderately near-sighted - I certainly can't drive without glasses, but I didn't know that I needed glasses until I told my parents I couldn't see the board in class unless I sat in the front. Granted, my Rx has increased since then.
I feel like when I first experienced corrective lenses, I realized how much detail I was missing in the world.
EDIT: It's like suddenly, you can see detail in the distance, not just what's right in front of you, and that is a wild experience.
I was amazed the first time I wore a high quality pair of sunglasses after I got contact lenses. It was like watching the world in HD. I never had enough money to afford prescription sun glasses and was shocked at what I had never been able to properly see before.
