I'd vote Yes even if there was a 1% success chance, but only as long as failure meant death.

I feel like pointing out that I am Deafblind and I picked yes for this question but if it was asking about hearing , I wouldn’t have.

Absolutely!!! In a heart beat! Yeah I’ve made great friends because of my vision but to be able to live independently and do everything independently!!! Ugh!!!! Maybe in my next life I’ll have 20/20!!

No. I’ve never had perfect vision and don’t care much to have it.

No. Would I like some improvements? Yes. Less eye strain, and light sensitivity. Definitely. And I’d love the freedom of driving (waiting til I can have my own self-driving car).

But no, I don’t think I’d want instant 20/20 vision. For one, having been low vision my entire life, I don’t think my brain could cope. But even if it could, I’m happy with my life as it is, I know how things work, what I can do and what I can’t, and I feel like I’m already living my best life. Why fix what isn’t broken?

Interestingly I would have said no as a child and teen. Having become a parent I'd have to completely change my answer.

Absolutely

I wouldn't. Being born blind means I'll have to learn things like writing and stuff. And not to mention driving, yuck. No thank you.

I see no downsides here

Hell yeah.

I voted yes but only because I’m legally blind and hard of hearing. Now I love the deaf community and even though that’s extremely difficult I wouldn’t change it. But with my vision I would. Because for my hearing personally there are hearing aids that would “fix” it. (I don’t own any because my parents can’t afford them but also won’t do anything to get me into any kind of program)

With my vision I just can’t make good of it I don’t know anything I like about it. The community is small and I have never met anyone like me in person I know that’s not saying much because I’m only 16. But yes I feel alone and it’s scary not seeing good. And it’s frustrating. Teachers plop me in the front row and expect that to fix it but I have to say that I still can’t see the board and they say that it’s not their problem basically and then I have to figure it out for myself.

People don’t understand vision loss they don’t understand what I can and can’t see. But with my hearing they can more they still forget and talk too quietly but it’s easier to understand and make accommodations for.

I hope one day my answer will change because this is a hypothetical and I just have to live with my reality. But yep I wish I was fully sighted.

No I’m used to it Iv had my visual impairment all my life

Absolutely! Wholeheartedly! I wouldn't mind relearning, I wouldn't mind not having perfect vision. Ideally more than my perfect, as clear as can be, light and shadow perception. Partial vision appreciated, enough vision to get a driving license preferred. I can't be more limited than I am now, so anything but this.

I can’t vote but I’d say yes.

Yes. Anyway, how are you guys voting in Bacon Reader? It says I need to be logged in, but I already am.

My vision shenanigans as I have taken to calling them I would for sure take it, my vision is actually still around that 20/20 but between the light sensitivity and my brain not controlling my eyes properly that vision is more to my detriment than help. I would even take it if it meant removing my vision altogether because these shenanigans have resulted in more dangerous situations than I can count. At the very least with less vision I start to qualify for things like O&M training, though I am still fighting for it because of the aforementioned dangerous situations my vision causes.

Yes, sure.

Yes
