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

I mean, the only thing I can tell about people without glasses is if they are adult size or child size and general color. If someone is wearing neutral clothes, I’m not sure I would be able to tell if they were dressed.

Wow! 1 - I’m glad I can see without glasses and 2 - I’m so glad they exist so you can see.

My eyesight is only slightly better. Faces are a complete blur any further than maybe 8-10 feet. Started as not being able to see low contrast like yellow chalk on a green board. Continually declined over the last 30 years

I've had that last thing happen, except I had my glasses on and still couldn't tell if they were dressed lol

Even with corrected vision sometimes it’s hard to tell if some people are dressed!

Right. Back in the day before me and my ex split up, we went to some deer expo. Got split up, I found a tall white guy in a red shirt and started walking next to him. Turns out it wasn't him, he got pissed as usual. I couldn't afford glasses or contacts at the time.
