Share your vision acuity

[gamesquest1]

never had any issues with my eyes......just incase anyone is thinking everyone on gbatemp is legally blind

I wonder who the weird guy was who decided to be illegally blind......."OI!!!! stop that blindness right now you need a license for that"

I have "perfect vision" as far as I know. When the optician checked my sight for the driving license training, I went on and on and on in the test, sometimes he made comments like "at this level you're able to pilot a fighter jet", and then we went on and on still, and eventually he gave up. There was no reason to continue.

I think it sucks, because I love glasses. Visually I find it attractive.
Sometimes I borrow reading glasses from my parents and it feels so nice to read with the enlarged text. I mean: I don't have any problem reading small text, but it's a lot nicer to read larger text.

I wear glasses, was prescribed with 0.50-1.00
That was about two months ago.

I'm nearsighted, and have been for most of my life. Started out at around -1.75 and I am now at around -4.75, maybe worse as I haven't been to an optician in a while.

When I was in the university, my eyesight went slightly bad perhaps because of the absence of video games, I had to wear glasses. When I got back to videogaming, my eyesight went back to its perfect self. I discovered that there was a study that videogames can improve your eyesight. So keep on playing guys.

I barely remember not wearing glasses either. My Rx is something like -4.75, with an extra -2.00 cylinder for astigmatism. But I've got MS, so when I was about 16, I guess it did some neurological damage that made it difficult for my eyes to turn in and focus properly up close. So in high school I was rocking a bifocal. I've had a bit of damage in my left eye from MS related optic neuritis. I've got an extra blind spot, but it's not really big enough to perceive. Because I have trouble seeing in low light, I stopped driving after dark.

Same. But never came back after university.

I see. Sorry to hear that.
Here's an inspiring video about gaming and eyesight.

I'm supposed to wear glasses to correct my near sighted-ness, no idea the exact numbers. I do know that one of my eyes is considerably worse then the other, but I mean, I can see everything I need to see just fine, so I don't wear glasses. (That, and the Frames I picked when I was a pre-teen are ugly, and also very bent)
