      I'm 36 and at yalls age mine was the same it only went to like 20/550 but is still OK with contacts/glasses. But I wore my contacts for months at a time and it messed my eyes up more. I only did it because I was desperate to see and felt to helpless without them. But the more I learn my areas the less I feel I need them. ONLY in those situations though. But still need them just don't worry about when you're at home let your eyes breath.

      Im 20/400 at 14 and i recommend you to research online about this site called endmyopia. Its not really a program or anything but it teaches you a lot about myopia and inner working of the eye. You can stop the progression of myopia pretty easily by getting a 2nd pair of glasses which is undercorrected for close up. You can even undo myopia which sounds crazy but yes, myopia is caused pretty much similarly to how its undone.
      Looking too much close up with glasses which are intended for vision basically gives you myopia. And the people that sell you glasses dont care. They love that they can profit off of you. Anyways it is interesting stuff and it may seem like a commitment, but it kinda isnt. All you really need to do to reverse myopia is build certain habits which you can research on endmyopia site. For example using 2 pairs of glasses, one for close up and one for distance, not wearing full prescription glasses, etc.

    I have CF or "counts fingers" acuity in one eye and in the other I have 20/125. This video makes it seem like everyone with low vision sees the same. And nothing an be farther from the truth. I am a teacher of the visually impaired and have had students with varying degrees of vision, diagnoses, etc. My own vision is not blurry. Print for example. I cannot see small print. It's not blurry. It just can't be read. My world is not blurry when I look around. Things that are up close are clear while objects that are "far" away just aren't visible. I agree that some have blurry vision. But it totally depends on the person and the eye condition.

    This is OK, but unfortunately it’s still presents a sort of “one size fits all“ viewpoint to visual impairments. It is much more of a broad spectrum then is being portrayed here. You can be legally blind but not have blurry vision, just need to see things much more closely, and there are many other different types of vision impairments that affect the ways people see. It’s not always just blurry or just tunnel vision etc. imagine going to a concert and sitting in the front row, and then moving back about 30 rows. You can still see without things being blurry, but it looks much smaller and farther away.

    Lol I wonder what this would look like with perfect vision. I have a condition call Aniridia so I have about 20/600 in one eye and 20/400the other. I was born with cataracts so they did surgery when I was almost 2 and they did one lens for close vision and the other one for distance but due to all of the other underdevelopment /degeneration of other structures my distance vision isn’t very good anyway so I was supposed to be able to switch my gaze but I began favoring the neared vision eye ever since then and it never really resolved even with patching and surgery to try and tie up the muscle that controls the eye. I also had some kind of retinal surgery for scar tissue that formed on the macula, I’m not sure if it was the both eyes or just one. Phew ok😂. I also have glaucoma, nystagmus, corneal inflammation that everything simple as sunlight to dust/pollen/air quality makes flare up, you get the point. It’s unfortunately really hard to control most of these conditions, especially the glaucoma that’s worse in the eye I favor. I think I’ve already lost some peripheral vision that I’ll never be able to get back in that eye and the other one has some pretty bad corneal scarring. So ughh it really is a lot of present struggle with how it has progressed since we’ll, I’m born, and I’m 18 no so, there’s also anticipatory grief/worry of what that will look like (see what I did there hehe) . I mean I try not to think about it but even recently when I went for my annual eye exam the top line of the eye chart with the biggest letter was much harder to make out than I felt like I always was… like I said the glaucoma and cornea issues are really doing a number… and the phychiatric meds I need to use make the glaucoma flare up, and the eye drops I need to use for the glaucoma make my eyes very irritated and inflamed and yea… it’s a wholeee big thing I did NOT sign up for ahaha. I could only imagine what I am seeing is twice as poor as what… I don’t even know how to say it ahh! I’ve always tried to describe what the effects of each condition and how the all contribute to my visual perception. So for example for nystagmus, imagine stubtle but dizzying shaking or blur or when you wave your hand really fast in front of you and follow it and then stop suddenly, the lazy eye causes poor depth perception that can make it hard to perceive stairs/curbs/dodge obstacles/
    Bad hand-eye coordination, you’re looking through a scratched and smudged lens and you feel like you’ve always got something in your eye and someone is shining a super bright light directly in your eyeas, all of the time no matter what. That’s the best I can think of hehe. Plz feel free to ask questions

      @@yellowdandelion4820 the reason it will get worse is because of how you use the glasses. At 20/100 you’re able to use computers phones and any close up stuff without the aid of glasses. The only time glasses should be used is if you’re looking at things in the distance or wt things that are not close to you. And the glasses should not be full prescription either. Dont listen to optometrist they are scammers. As you age your vision gets worse but it shouldnt happen rapidly or anything like that if it does its caused by the glasses.

      First of all it’s “you’re”, but also blindness is a spectrum. It’s not all or nothing. Only about 10% of people classified as blind see absolutely nothing. And no, it’s not black, it’s just nothing. It’s like seeing out of your elbow. The rest of us have varying degrees of usable vision depending on our personal circumstance but we are still classified as legally blind.
