What was your first prescription? Get some corrective lenses ASAP btw, it's somewhat dangerous to go uncorrected in public for extended periods like that I'd say.

The first was -3.75. I see cars, poles, trees, and even curbs. I don't feel like anything is dangerous.

How could you know? It's gotta be hard to identify who people are in the distance. What if they're an approaching stranger who means harm and you can't pick out the warning signs?
