My contacts were bothering me today and I decided to wear my glasses around. Unfortunately my glasses need a new prescription and even though I can see, it’s not 20/20. Driving around is actually pretty dangerous but I decided to hit some golf balls with my glasses on. I couldn’t even see all the way down to the end of the range. I took my glasses off at one point and I couldn’t see a thing. I would probably shoot 150 with no visual assistance. I’m a complete useless human being without contacts or glasses. I couldn’t drive a vehicle. I couldn’t identify an object unless it was right in front of my face. I seriously wonder how people got by with poor eye sight hundreds of years ago. Eye glasses have a history that begins around the 12th century but what the hell were people doing before that. If I were in the caveman times with my current eye sight I’d probably get eaten by a sabre tooth tiger or trampled by a wooly mammoth. I’d probably think it was a giant rock rolling at me. It’s really scary. I’ve considered lasik but that bothers me because it’s only been around for 20 years or so and who knows what the long term effects are? Even though I find contact extremely annoying and I still don’t know the the right way from inside out, I’ll live with it.
