Legit was mindblown when my friend got glasses and was so fascinated that trees had leaves! Happy to know that appreciating this beautiful detail of nature is a bit of a universal experience
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.
The weirdest thing that happened to me when I got my glasses was that it felt like I was going to hit them with the food I was eating, I was 15 at the time
I still don't like wearing my glasses.
Sometimes I just use the pinhole method just so I don't have to wear them.
I'm not super blind, just near sighted.
I can get about my day without them most of the time. I just find them way to distracting.
Same for me. I don't like how I look with them and they get in the way. But I have to admit that they are a huge help for reading street signs or recognizing people from far away... But when I'm not outdoors, I really don't like to wear them.
I paid for eye insurance when I first landed a "real" job that has benefits and got an eye check up and the optometrist was like "you're just barely off from 20/20, not really even a prescription" and i was like oh geez what a waste of time.
And then I put on the pair of glasses and it was like this. Just every tree looked magical.
well, I can only speak from my own experience. I forget the exact prescription but my eyes were also slightly off so one was worse than the other and neither was perfect.
Idk if it's just that significant or if it's having them align but it made tree leaves just look individual and pop for me. I was staring at every tree and saying how they look so cool and it was only later that I learned this common tree meme among people who get glasses.
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
I was 15 when I first got my glasses. I walked out of the opticians to the bus stop and was stunned that I could actually see and READ the number of the bus approaching from 500 yards away and not when it arrived at the stop.
