Tell me about your eyeballs. (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=273604)

Blue, floater, distance correction and reading correction, color identification is degrading, other than that they are perfect.

I wear glasses to read and for distance vision, but for some reason I prefer to take them off when I eat and when I use the computer.

We are obviously related.

Had to wear a patch for several months.

Kept my vision, by some crazy stroke of luck. Just a millimeter or so in a different location, and I would have lost my eye. I still have floaters and squigglies in my vision because of some fluid on my lens, but I consider myself fortunate. Depth perception FTW!

There is a coffee shop on campus that is run by a blind guy and his family. He is the nicest, most upbeat guy that you'll ever meet. I've been buying coffee and sandwiches from him for 20 years and never knew the story behind his blindness. Evidently, he had two independent accidents involving a knitting needle and a pencil within months of each other when he was under 7 years old. Holy crap.

I smoke a lot of weed so my eyes are red and my vision is clear. My eyebrows on the other hand need regular correction which they don't receive, because I smoke a lot of weed.

I will echo your last sentence. That's almost unimaginable.

The one thing I really have going for me is my perfect vision. Not 20/20 vision. But more like 20/10.

I had serious "coke bottle" glasses my whole young life. Started wearing contact lenses when I was 14. That was when "permalens" contacts came out. You could wear them for two weeks, sleep in them, just had to put eye drops in your eyes when you woke up. Being a teenager, I was lazy, so I think I must have worn them for up to six weeks before taking them out to clean them. Then all the news reports came out that sleeping in contact lenses could seriously damage your eyes. So I kept it up.

When I was 30 and had a baby. Any time the baby cried at night it took me about 8 extra seconds to find my coke bottle glasses at the bedstand. I thought "What if there's an earthquake? I'd be useless"
So I got Lasik.

My vision is 20-35. Pretty good considering I was basically legally blind before.

I just bought glasses to get back to 20-20. Hipster glasses as you guys would call them.

I haven't logged on for a couple weeks just because I've been as busy as a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest but this popped up as "latest poll" before I even hit the forums and I would have bet good money it was a Rain Man.
