Am I crazy for not wanting to wear glasses? (self.Blind)

So don't wear them. When you get to a certain level of blind it's not worth it. I have myopia but I'm blind enough that there's no point in wearing glasses. I just stopped wearing them after a while.

I can’t answer your question but I’m wondering where you live. There’s a doctor I saw in Maine, he’s both a medical doctor and an osteopath and he specializes in vision issues. I went to see him because according to my optometrist my vision has been deteriorating but that’s not what the guy in Maine thought. He believes very strongly that I was over prescribed for years. He spent 90 minutes with me, actually made up test frames And kept working at it until we got the correct prescription. It was much more complicated than my previous prescription, different PDSP for my close-up vision and then from my distance vision. I can’t see as far as I used to be able to see but I can see everything close up much better. Basically my previous prescription was like having binoculars. It took me about a months to get used to the new prescription but it’s a fraction of the strength of the old one, I can actually afford to buy multiple pairs of glasses now which is quite pleasant after spending between five and $800 a pair for the last 20 years

Anyway the information above you don’t really need to know however if you’re in a position to do so someone like this might be able to help you. If you want his contact info just send me a PM. He uses both of his degrees when he examines you for glasses and perhaps he can come up with something to help you So that wearing glasses is not so miserable for you.

I feel like you bitching about having to wear glasses is pretty insulting to those without vision.

Have no vision. Am not insulted. Hell I know people with no vision who wear glasses anyway for their own reasons. Whatever works.
