I've met with blind people and helping them too, I love to talk and socialize with them,
About me, I can't really see well from both eyes without glasses, I have low vision, especially when driving I really need them everywhere, I thought before I was nearsighted and farsighted from one eye and the other eye, but my doctors told me I'm nearsighted from both eyes, to which I can't see far, but my left eye is worst, sometimes even closer objects gets blurry with my left eye (sometimes without my glasses too) vise versa, when doing my makeup, and I do my eyeshadows, I have to do my right eye first, so I close my right eye, and keep my left eye open and get very close to the mirror (funny thing tho I have to sit on my drawer because I'm short lol) and then I get upset, because my vision from my left eye gets very blurry, and even though I can see from both eyes, in some certain times, they see blurry and I can't focus, especially when the sun or any strong light hits in and hurts my eyes, even when I look away. From my periohe vision (I think that's what is called) is when your eyes look straight ahead, don't move them but you can see from your side, with my left peripheral vision sidd, I can't see, or sometimes I can see, but then the person or object, animal etc looks like they're fading away.
Last year I had trouble seeing clearly, because I had lot of trouble focusing seeing at day night time, too much sensitive to light, headaches, feeling as if I have stuff in my eyes when I never did etc, and that's because I haven't checked my vision almost in 3 yesrs, and wore the same glasses, now with my new glasses, everything is fine, but I'm not use to go out or do something without my glasses, I really really need them, even with them on chances are, vision does gets blurry and weak.
(Not all the times but sometimes I put my phone to read for me in case if some things I can't focus to read)
I'm 31 years old, when I was a little girl or teenager, I didn't wear glasses at school, because my family didn't had much money to take me to the eye doctor and get my vision checked, I will always sit in front to see the board, because behind chairs and tables I had trouble seeing and I had to squint my eyes to force myself to see, but it never really worked.
And for last, well it was my fault, my doctors told me I needed to wear a patch or something to cover my right eye, so I can exercise my left eye and force it too see and concentrat, I did that for couple of days, but I didn't like it, I felt so uncomfortable..
I just let myself be like that, I love wearing glasses lol, but hate when I lose them, I go mad and crazy if I lose them especially for hours or minutes if I'm lucky, and until I find them I'm excited.
