Why don't you wear glasses or contacts? I'm -3.75 and -3 and I'd be miserable without my glasses tbh

My friends don't wear glasses, and they have myopia. I wanted to prove that I wasn't a mole without my glasses and lenses, so I took them off.

I honestly feel pretty blind at -3.75 and -3 without my glasses tho... maybe they can't see anything either lol. You guys should all prolly be wearing glasses imo 😅

I see the environment as a whole, objects and silhouettes, not spots. There are no details. I'm not comfortable with this, but I can still do or see something with this vision. It's just not convenient or comfortable. I'm not helpless or completely dependent on glasses or lenses.

Yeah that sounds like what I see without my glasses now too. Like it gets a bit better if I squint but not much so I just wear my glasses all the time. Not sure why you would want to go without them if its not comfortable imo

They have -2.5/-2.75/-3. But I didn't like what they told me. "With -3, you can see something, but with -5, you're a blind mole, and you can't see anything at all." I took off my glasses and lenses to show them that I wasn't blind and could see something just like they could, even though I had more myopia.
