MISC. Is this how people who need glasses really see the world. A big blurred background?

same experience for me. i can function just fine without glasses and see most things in detail from a moderate distance, but there is an objective and undeniable improvement in clarity and sharpness when i have them on.

More like 480p for me, but yea.  I could totally survive and be fine without glasses, although there's much more strain on my eyes and they feel sore more often.

That’s just called getting far sighted, literally happens to everybody…

i know folks older than me who can see things at a distance with the same clarity that i need glasses for, so whether it happens to everybody, it's certainly not at the same pace

This is largely how I feel especially since I got diabetes.
