Every time I drop my glasses.

I'm really glad I don't have this issue. At least, not yet.
My distance vision is starting to get slightly shitty but I don't need glasses.
My right eye is definitely better than my left; and my left is
slightly
blurry at distance.
Unless I'm drinking.

I started wearing glasses when I was six years old and my eyes got worse
quickly as I grew but pretty much stabilized when I reached my full growth. I
think I posted a photo a while back that is a great representation of how the
world looks without my glasses, but this photo is an exaggerated version, though
not by much.

I always had good vision, until recently. As a kid I was banned from reading
before 6am and after 6pm as read so much. Unfortunately laying on my side,
putting the material closer to the eyes and the constant focus adjustment of the
lens means material builds up behind it - thus I need glasses for reading now.
I also had, for most of my life, better than 20/20 long range vision, it was
useful in the bush, as I would pick out things on hillsides further away than
others would. It also meant I was naturally attuned to a long range precision
rifle. A gunsmith recommended I have a 3-9x40 scope (adjustable magnification
of 3x - 9x, with a 40mm lens). I think I took it off the 3x twice. In
hindsight I would have been better off with a fixed 4x. I had no trouble
spotting the target. It's now down to a measly 20/20 at long range.
I don't know how many times I heard people talk of scientists searching for
reported sightings and tourists in National Parks not seeing the species that
was abundant in those places. You can be sure the species saw them. With age
it seems, that's you.
I hope my hearing doesn't go the same way. I don't know how many times I've
heard things in the bush before i could see them.
