25/20

Now I wish I wore glasses. Oh Sakuya...

I need to wear glasses, I can't say I know exactly how bad they are.

It's redundant though, when I'm inside I'm at my PC, on the rare occasions I'm outside I'm happy not being able to see.

I have -2.5 diopter glasses.

-2 left -1.75 right

Was close to legally blind without glasses.

Had Lasik, and now I have 20/20 vision, although in practice, I still have a slight astigmatism so it's not 'perfect' vision.

-7.5 both

I have perfect vision. I wear glasses only to stop seeing the lines of death.

astigmatysm in left eye, can't even feel it when not wearing glasses (like now)
Medic sez that if i keep wearing them i'll lose the astygmatism.
Pilot school here i go!

-6 left -5 right

-6.75 left -7.25 (I think) right

12 years ago I could apparently be a pilot.
I am not all too sure about that anymore.

But keep in mind how eyes can be trained, like most of anything. Like a "muscle" almost.

Ever thought of why the bookworm, or now more modern screen-oogling archtype is commonly portrayed (and commonly have) weaker eyesight?

Its simple. Because the eyes of these people tend to not get much variation. Eyes need to shift between far away and close up focus in order to become good at changing and maintaining focus.

Even if you don't go out much, you could/should still keep this mind. Take a moment and look away at the far-side of the room, or perhaps more preferably, outside the window every once in a while, per day.
Doing so could retain your eyesight far longer than if you just let your eyes dim away at the same distance all the time, and if done diligently, it might even improve your eyesight altogether to some extent.

Perfect, even with the abuse I give my eyes and ears daily.
Sooner or later it will bite me back, for now they're fine.

Dammit OP, now I have something else to add to my list of kinky things I want to try. I don't even wear glasses; how am I supposed to experience a girl licking the lenses inches from my eyes until her hot saliva drips onto my face?

-7.00 / -6.50

Last year they were -8.00 / -5.50. I think they're converging.

Heavily considering surgery.

Pretty healthy but I get nearsighted sometimes. For instance if I'm on the couch or in bed with my laptop and I look at the TV that's further away, I can't see it, or the other day when I was in the kitchen the other day chopping stuff I couldn't see the TV. Eventually I can see far away, but it takes a while.

Mine varies from day to day depending on what I eat.
Salty foods tend to worsen my vision.

Some days I can see the writing on the white board,
on other days I need to use my glasses.

If I stare long enough
whatever I'm looking at will come into focus,
but the professor will have erased it if I wait for that to happen.
I put my glasses on if it takes too long for my vision to attain focus.

I would move closer, but I like sitting in the back.

Look at it this way.

On most browsers, you can bring up your browsing history by pressing Control-H. (No, this is not going to become a discussion of werecows.) On Firefox, this brings up a sidebar that shows up on the left side of the window. If you put your mouse over the edge of the sidebar, the cursor will turn into a different kind of arrow. By clicking and dragging it, you can move the edge of the sidebar back and forth. You are, to put it another way, manipulating the border between the normal window and the history window. By moving the mouse, you can increase the portion of the window devoted to either part. In a more extreme view of this situation, you're increasing or decreasing the amount of existence the sidebar has.

Now, let's apply this idea to something more abstract. Look out your window. If you don't live in a highly urbanized area, you should be able to see the horizon. Think of this as the border between the land and the sky. The land and sky are obviously distinguishable thanks to this boundary. Now, if you were to "drag" the sash between the sky and the land, or to manipulate the border between land and sky, you would end up causing the sky to become larger and the land to become smaller, or vice versa. An effect of this might be to cause something that was just on the ground to suddenly be hundreds of feet in the air. Truly a frightening situation to be in. So, look at it this way - manipulating the border between two physical things shifts whatever balance there is in the interaction between those things. Alternatively, by manipulating the border between two things, you can change the manner in which they exist.

>>7582052
>Perfect, even with the abuse I give my eyes and ears daily.
I used to think like this.

30/20.

But recently, I've been starting to see these strange lines on people and objects. Sometimes, dots appear as well. I'm scared!

>>7582028
Holy fuck....

>>7582047
I use to go to the mountain and forest, like to shoot mah guns. No really, but lately my vision has improved a lot, the medic says i CAN be a pilot because my actual eyesight is ok, butall i could make is tired vision after lots of hours reading and that.
I love to watch out of my window i'm not the typical /jp/er, and i go outside (but alone xD, you could say i am total /jp/ with that)

>>7582078
Still, this isn't *that* abstract, since it's still dealing with real things in the real world. Many believe that in this world, there are those things that are true, and those that obviously aren't. This divides reality into two extremes: truth and falsehood. But, since we have two extremes, logically one can imagine a boundary between those two extremes - the border between truth and lies. If one were to manipulate this border, suddenly things that were pure fantasy (flying pigs, for the sake of argument) have become reality - or things from reality have ceased to exist. This is how Yukari is said to have invaded the moon - by manipulating the border between truth and lies, as applied to the reflection of the moon on a pond, she was able to make the reflection of the moon into a manifestation of the actual moon, and so send her youkai army onto it. This is what's truly amazing about Yukari's power - the ability to manipulate the border between completely abstract concepts allows her to fundamentally change reality as we know it (at least in terms of two abstract concepts).

Those who have had laser eye surgery:

Is the risk negligible?
How good do your eyes become if the operation is successful?
Are there any side effects afterward?

Please answer!

>>7582084
And this was related with the thread because.....

Also, first your screen, next taking you into the Gensoukyou

>>7582079
Well, I shouldn't say perfect.
Neither eye is short nor farsighted but I wouldn't call them perfect, they work.

I don't exactly remember what the number was. But it was around 8 nearsighted..

My glasses are heavier now. They hurt.

My eyes have held up pretty well over the years, still have near perfect eyesight.

my eyes are great, but my brain isn't doing too good.
I have all sorts of floaters, visual snow and other weird stuff in my vision.

Having MS means i can have fun looking at a clear sky.

>>7582087
too much reading at an early age + genetics + eye trauma, etc.

I recently got a new prescription for the first time in years. My eyes got a lot worse. They're -2.25/-3.50 now.

>>7582047
Only parts of the eye are muscle. Many vision problems are caused by imperfections in the lens or other parts of the eyes that you can't "exercise."

One day, Mokou was out shopping with the neet. They drank a lot of lemonade and had to piss, so they went to the bathroom together. While Mokou was doing her business, the neet stuck her head under the stall divider.

"So what do you think of that new dress? Shit is so cash, right?"

"Kaguya, you can't do that!" Mokou screamed. "Get out!"

Mokou started kicking the neet in the face, but the neet braved the pain and slithered under the divider and into the spacious stall. The neet carefully squirmed her arm under Mokou's leg and began to finger her. This caused Mokou's piss stream to intensify, a golden torrent rivaling a fire hydrant. The piss was powerful enough to knock down the stall door, sending it crashing into the far wall. Picking Mokou up by her underarms, the neet carried her around as a mobile piss cannon, blasting holes in walls and ripping apart innocent shoppers in a wall of hot urine. When Mokou was finally exhausted, the pair stood in the ruins of the mall, knee--deep in a golden lake. Piss mixed with shoppers' blood rained down from what was left of the ceiling. Too embarrassed to even move, she offered no resistance as the neet shoved her head underwater and drowned Mokou in her own piss. The neet whipped out her cell phone and called Cirno, informing the fairy of a whole new lake that just formed that she can play in.

FIN

Thanks for sharing.

Lens prescriptions are in the hundreds, maybe 400-500. It seems to have stopped degrading after I got my LCD monitor. Thinking of getting laser eye surgery one day.

I can never remember the exact numbers, but without my glasses, I can't recognize a face from farther than 1 foot away. I have to get pretty close to pressing my nose up to a book or my monitor without my glasses to be able to read text. It's really bad, and it's been getting worse over the years.

Does too much TV/computer really kill your eyesight? My optometrist told me that it's a myth, but I don't know...

I lost an eye due to an accident a few years back, they had to take my eye out -- it's not cool.

That's also the time when I started not to go out of the house.

>>7582202
I'd heard it's a myth too but at the eye doctor they asked me how much time I spend on the computer each day, so I would assume it plays some role in your eyesight.

Incidentally I told them "I don't know, over 4 hours" and the girl gave me a weird look so either she could tell I was grossly underestimating or even that is considered a lot.

>>7582208
Do you wear an eyepatch?

>>7582202
I think it's mostly genetic. You're genes determine if you're prone to eyesight deterioration or not. Of course, TV/computer/reading will help in the deterioration only if you are prone to it; the rate also depends on genes.

>>7582230
It's considered a lot.

I remember when I overheard some guy tell a girl he spent 3 hours playing a video game back in high school, and she freaked out as if it was an ungodly amount. And so did he.

>>7582234
Yep.
Even my family gets disgusted by that distortion in my face.

>>7582202
My understanding is that it will kill your ability to focus on things that are far away.

>>7582263
I imagined a 2D girl with your description and my eyes teared up slightly

It's mostly genetics.

I've played hours of handheld games and read for hours.
However, my sister, who has done neither, gets worse eyesight than me.

Though, it doesn't help that she has an astigmatism.

Oh, and -9.5/-9.75 master race reporting here

>>7582263
Oddly enough missing eyes are one of my many fetishes. I'm sure someone will find you adorable anon.

>>7582288
>>7582325
Sadly, I'm not a girl and I think missing eye fetishes are only limited to the 2d world.

I'm trying to keep my remaining eye healthy -- monthly checkups, etc.
I just want to say that you guys should treat your eyes well before you regret it.

last time i had my eyes checked, they were 20/20 but that was years ago.

If i got them checked again they'd probably say one of my eyes are going bad.

A bit nearsighted. I really just wear my glasses when playing games on my TV.

I have -12.50 astigmatism in both eyes

This is the result of when a teacher tells her 1st grade student not to look at the sun...

>>7582202
Here >>7582047
It affects that if you aren't careful.

I have astigmatism.

Glad to know that afterlife I will find a lot of frolicking megane lolis in /jp/ manor

>>7582403
I hope I can be blind.

>>7582403
Sorry, I wear contacts.

I'll hide them while you sleep

11/10

also, i can wear all glasses from 0 to +5 because i can adapt my eyes's focus

Not all that healthy

I can't really see the tv well from across my room and my glasses broke ages ago. Can't afford a new pair so I just deal with it.

>>7582414

I don't know HOW unhealthy my eyes are, but I have glasses, and need them for reading anything that's 20 feet or further

Knock yourself out.

Ugh... not healthy at all... I got retinitis pigmentosa and if it wasn't for the supplements and medication I would have been full blind a long time ago...

I used to have serious miopia issues... tho LASORS fixed me.

now I'm going all reisen on things... BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMU~

Good enough, but I've been looking at the computer for too long so now they're aching like hell.

Anyone know what the hell causes things that aren't there to float across your vision? Looks kind of like dust particles or something, but it's not. It's just your eyes being fucked.

>>7582541

>>7582562
Like worms?

>>7582562
No idea, but they're sometimes pretty entertaining to watch.
Most of the time, though, they're plain annoying.

>>7582562
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floaters
Floaters?

-1.75 in my left eye, right eye has perfect vision.

Don't know the exact figures but my eyes are fucking terrible. Anything beyond my outstreched hand is blurry as all heck, and even with my glasses I have trouble seeing distant things objects.

>>7582562

You get used them. Eventually you won't even notice them anymore.

>>7582571
They're actually called floaters? God damn.

I have to get my eyes tested soon and know that I'll have to get glasses. I can't read any small text on my 1080p monitor at all if I'm farther than 2 feet from the screen.

I'm worried about the kinds of glasses I'll get because I know that I'll obsess over the way they'll make me look, even though nobody ever sees me. Contact lenses also are out of the question, as I've never been comfortable to even use eye drops in my life, let alone put something directly into my eye like that (not to mention having to remember to take them out and clean them and all of that business).

I've always like the way thick-framed glasses look, like Sakuya in the OP image, Homura, or ILLUSTRIOUS MARI, for example, but feel pretentious and also think that I might prefer larger glasses, so as to provide a larger range of eyesight correction and less of a LIFE THROUGH LENSES experience. At that point, I feel like a stereotypical hipster kid who's trying to look nerdy just for the very sake of looking nerdy. I'm all-too obsessive, even with the knowledge that NOBODY will ever see me wearing these glasses.

What kind of glasses do you wear, /jp/?

>>7582644

Just go with what you want and stop worrying about people might think, otherwise you'll wind up with glasses you don't like that feel uncomfortable to wear.

>>7582644
I have two pairs, one with rectangular lenses like >>7582666
and a rigid frame, the others are oval lenses which I prefer, but have an annoying ass bendy frame that annoys the crap out of me. I was too awkward to want to waste the opticians time trying to change them - don't do that.

>>7582666
That's probably good advice. Those look like some glasses that My brother used to have. You like them?

>>7582703
What is it that you prefer about the oval lenses, anything in particular? And you'd recommend not being too socially anxious to request further assistance from the eye doctor?

20/13, so pretty good I guess.

>>7582644
Ones I bought at a thrift store for 50 cents.
Prescription is close enough.

20/225 in one of my eyes, something like 20/40 in the other. Glad I can see everything up close though.

-9.5 Right, -9.0 Left,

Considering Lasik, but the rate's only 95%....

-7 left, right was -8 before the retina detached. No idea what it is now.

I don't know. I've had eye strain for the past couple of years from using a CRT. It's been getting better lately though.

They used to be really good (only a few years ago), now I think they're pretty shit, but not really shit enough to require glasses.

No clue, but one is definitely better than the other. I hardly ever use my left eye.

>>7582644
I wear thick hipster glasses. I don't think thin frames look good on me (I've worn them in the past) and I don't particularly give a shit what other people may think.

Just try on as many frames as you can until you find some you really like. You'll be wearing them every day so make sure you get the right ones.

+1.25 right
+0.25 left

Apparently i won't need glasses in a year or so. At least my doctor says so.

Good. Dunno the exact figure. Surprisingly I haven't gone blind yet.

Too much computer and reading, has destroyed my long sightedness, don't know the specific number but unless I'm <75cm from the object things start to blur.

>>7582148

Can't see shit without my glasses. Gets even worse when I'm tired.

>no money for glasses
>blind as shit

20/10 my optometrist said I'm in the top when it comes to vision. But everybody else in my family needs glasses.

75/100
Its been like this for 7 years

Without glasses I can't read books unless they're <20 cm
With glasses I have long sightedness problems anyways
Don't know the numbers but I think I have pretty shit eyes

I haven't checked in years, but without glasses I can't read the text in books that are farther than 15-20cm away. So I guess -10 or more, plus astigmatism.

It's shit.

>>7582644

glasses threads make me happy...

wasted some time drawing sakuya's happy reaction.

I can't see too far, but unlike everyone else I know, I can stare at a screen from a few inches away in the dark literally forever without feeling anything or getting any worse.

There's no reason for me to wear glasses since I don't leave my room.

Always spend more money on glasses and shoes than all your other clothes.
