I could not tell you how strong my glasses are, as I don't have my prescription handy. Very strong, I would say. I can't read the largest letter on the optician's eyechart unaided, though I am just ...

I have to admit that I rather enjoy the experience of looking at lights through myopic eyes. I enjoy walks in the city at night for this reason. If/when my sight improves, I do hope I'll retain the ...
