      Yeah, I was so blind I didn’t know what my parents faces looked like. I got glasses around 12ish. My mother still enjoys the story that when I first got them put on I exclaimed “wow mom, you’re so pretty!”

      I was shocked to learn how far away people can read and recognize my face. Much was explained that day.

        “Wait. I can see where they’re looking at from this far away. That means… Oh man.”

              What, you can’t hear it? I hate to say it, but you might want to get your ears checked. Everyone else can hear it, people around you have probably just been courteous enough not to mention it.

              It sounds like this.

    Is the leaves thing common for people who get glasses for the first time? That was the most intense sight for me at 25 years old, was seeing the individual leaves on a tree like 50 feet away

      For me it wasnt be cause I had heard that so many times from others before I started regularly wearing them. I think for me it was seeing how bad a bunch of my old games actually look. I can still take em off and make em look good again
