Echoing everyone here, I feel your pain. I'm not blind without my glasses but so near-sighted that it poses a major problem. What really scares me about being without my glasses is that it's like my field of awareness gets shrunken down to the inches directly around me. I start bumping into walls and people like a cartoon character, because I can't concentrate on what's coming. Similarly, I'm way more likely to get hit in the head by a ball because I won't notice it coming.

I'm the first person in my family to have eye problems from youth, but my parents are getting older and needing reading glasses. And when they say thing like, "I have no idea where I put my glasses" or "oh of course I can't read this, I'm not wearing glasses!" a part of me thinks HOW DO YOU LIVE?!

Ugh, not to mention that they let thumbprints and water spots on their glasses all the time. It took me several years to train the people around me to know that if it rains, I either have to have my head down or my glasses off, so no, I can't concentrate on what you're saying because I'm just trying to get to the nearest dry area without hurting myself.

Being able to see in the rain was probably the greatest benefit I experienced when I got contacts, and it was something I totally hadn't thought about beforehand. The first time I was outside in the rain wearing contacts, I was like "OMG this is AMAZING you guys!"

I wish I could wear contacts but my eyes are apparently superdry and the lenses feel like sand all the time (I also feel sleepy, because my eyes feel so heavy). Of course I haven't tried them in a few years, maybe they've made advances by now.

My biggest WHOA moment when I wore contact lenses was like "PERIPHERAL VISION OH MY GOD". Like you don't even notice that you don't have full view when you wear glasses, but you put in contacts and every part of your eyeball sees something! You can side-eye things and actually see to the side while you do it!!!

I'm weird, I just kind of ignore the rain splatters on my glasses. Then again I feel like my face is missing if I don't have my glasses on.
