I've got a refractive amblyopia where one of my eyes doesn't take in enough light to see properly so it has vision so bad that my brain literally filters it out when both eyes are open and I don't consciously see out of it.

My other eye was historically perfect in every way to compensate but these days it's struggling a lot with e.g. text on tv in a dark room

It feels like your eyelids are made of tongue depressors and they scuff your eye every time you blink. Do not recommend.

Can eyeglasses goons give me an advice? During the latest checkup they said that yup can technically get reading glasses, I didn't yet get around to it. Will my eyesight continue to deteriorate if I continue to roll without glasses? From strain or something? I don't particularly notice any strain but at times I feel like I might be straining sometimes.

there's basically no evidence that using or not using eyeglasses will have any effect on your future need for eyeglasses. needing glasses is usually because your eyeball is the wrong shape, and you can't change their shape or prevent them from becoming a stupider shape by using them a certain way
eye strain is real but it's not chronic. your eyes focus using muscles and like any part of your body you can push it too far, and if that happens that just means you need to rest them and let them recover, usually by closing your eyes for a bit every hour or so

I have two eyes but no real binocular vision. I have to choose which of two images to focus on at any moment. If I'm riding in the passenger seat of a car I will often see a vehicle in the right lane as being halfway in our lane, which is kind of scary. I can't drive due to this, although I am licensed.

All my life, my vision was tip-top, gently caress you awesome, I could read the smaller text on a poster or sign on the other side of the room. About 7 years back, it began to deteriorate and now, everything is a blurry mess and it's loving me up. Already been through 2 sets of glasses and feels like I need to get tested again, it's been a depressing and humbling experience (in terms of realising yeah, I'm getting old). Like sure, I figured I might need glasses someday but the way my eyes went from perfect to garbage so fast just knocked me on my arse.

Oh these fuckers. I get them more frequently the older I get but they don't last as long these days. It used to be I'd see one every other year or so in my twenties and they'd last for hours. Now it's usually a couple per year but only for 30-45 minutes at a time.

And you know what triggers them? Bright light! And it's usually sunlight. My eyes are getting more light sensitive as I age and I now wear sunglasses whenever I leave the house.

Left eye's getting a cataract :corsair: and poo poo's getting all hazy, annoying driving at night. Also got some kind of translucent flake or floater in that eye keeps moving into the center of my vision when I move my eye around. Sucks.

Oh yeah I got that scintillating scotoma thing when I don't eat enough.

I have a generic eye condition and it’s unfortunately progressive, so I periodically have days where it is like reopening a wound as I deal with my vision worsening. I have night blindness, can’t drive l, losing my peripheral vision, cs t judge distances that great anymore, and I have trouble discerning colors now too. I will be joining the white cane society before long.

my actual vision is fine technically and I don't need glasses, but I have really heavy visual snow and floaters all the time I just kind of tune out during day to day life

at times it does make it hard to focus especially at a distance though

I just booked an eye test today actually, I feel like my night vision and far vision aren’t as good as they used to be.

I get something kinda like the scintillating scrotum, but it’s not an arc, it’s little bright points around my peripheral vision, like sparkles, sometimes with colours. I don’t know what that’s called. Sometimes it comes with a migraine, other times it doesn’t.

I've had dry eye disease for seven years and it makes me want to kill myself. Imagine the feeling of getting an eyelash stuck in your eye that you could never get out, which slowly progresses to feeling like a new papercut opening up on your cornea every ten seconds. I'm actually going to another ophthalmologist appointment today.

I have astigmatism in both eyes, but if you know what -4.50 means then you know what's really up.

herpes simplex in my eye. If it breaks out it feels like a razor was run deep against my cornea. Closing the eye provides no relief. You put a medicated goop in it to heal faster.

No one hosed my eye or anything cool like that. You usually get it when someone with a cold sore kisses your face as a baby.
