Do you really see through someones glasses the way they see without glasses?

No. You may see a distorted image, but it is not what the person themselves see without glasses.\n\nI'm high-myopic, -9 to -10, and people would look through my glasses and say "wow, do you really see like that?"\n\nI'd have to tell them "no. That's the correction to my vision, not the way I see without glasses."\n\nOne day, by accident, I found common lenses that would let me show other people what my uncorrected vision was like. I picked up a double pocket magnifying glass. It had two ordinary magnifying lenses in it that could be swung out one at a time or both at once to increase magnification. With both lenses out, while I was wearing my glasses, I looked through the magnifiers at a distant wall. I realized that what I was seeing was the same as I would see without any glasses at all! \n\nSince then I've had a way to show people roughly what I see like without glasses. For extreme nearsightedness, put two standard magnifying glasses together and hold them to one eye about where normal eyeglasses would sit and look at something distant. If you're vision is in the normal range, you'll approximate my uncorrected vision.\n\nIn general, I believe, if you want to know what it is like to see what another sees *without* their glasses, and your vision is withing normal limits, you would need another pair of glasses made to the *opposite* prescription. Theirs corrects the prescribed amount, your vision would have to be distorted that same amount.\n\nMy trick wouldn't show you how someone farsighted sees. You'd need a different type of lens. In general, correction for nearsightedness like I've got is done with lenses that make distant objects smaller and darker. Correction for people with farsightedness is accomplished with lenses that are more like magnifying lenses.\n\nThis doesn't even deal with other problems with the eye, such as astigmatism or presbyopia.\n\nThere's one plus to my vision that most people don't realize -- when I take my glasses off, I see magnified up to a distance of about four inches. I can literally read engraving on the head of a pin.\n\nThen there's what Spider Robinson said: "People with glasses are lucky. We can see stars on rainy nights."

No this is totally impossible. There did use to be a novelty product called x-ray glasses and looking through these gave a skeleton type effect to the person. The lens (or holes) has small pieces of feather stuck over them and this combination gave an optical illusion.\n\nHypnotist sometime have a pair of glasses that hypnotised people wear and they beleive that they see people naked. This of course is not try it is only because the hypnotist has suggested it.\n\nHope this helps.

They live by example. It depends sometimes on their eyesight. If they need glasses to see afar off and reading too they can't wear contacts because they don't make them like that. They need glasses with bifocals especially when they become presbiopic (2nd sight) around 40. They can see good afar off but at near their vision is bad- bifocal time. Contacts are only for distance vision, not near.

kids.\n\nAnyway I do. Well, sorta. My glasses are really cool--for a while there I was wearing contacts because my kids were little and yanked at my glasses. I replaced them with funky red glasses--the contacts that is, not the kids. The kids I replaced with...okay never mind.

Not normally unless you have a problem seeing at night.Especially when driving other than that, it is legal to drive a car with 20/40 eyesight with out wearing glasses.I know because that is what the people at the DMV told me.

I wear Contacts. It will be better so you will be able to see all your blind spots clearly without your glasses getting in the way.

Haha...yeah! I go to the doctors, and they say I have 20-20 vision...but I know for a fact, that when I look at things far away...they are somewhat blurry. My right eye is worse than my left. So I finally went to the doctor. And without straining I tried to guess the letters. I got one wrong and the guy was like..ooo! You need glasses! So I got a prescription with only the right eye...like, there are lenses, but only the right one helps me see better...if that makes sense. So yeah...I have glasses, but I don't use them.

yes because your eyes have to strain themselves to see

Squint, like you squint with ur eyes? Do u wear glasses? Alot of people who can't see well will squint. Only laser surgery can correct a vision problem if u don't want to wear glasses or contacts.

i actually tried that before when i wasnt wearing my contacts....and yes you can see better if you squint really hard...its pretty neat u should try it sometime and see for yourself!

I guess so, but I don't really pay attention to that....people used to say things like that to me when I wore glasses so I wouldn't feel so weird, but who wants to look smart, really? I just want to be me, and wearing glasses wasn't me. I prefer my contacts so I can see everything clearly!\n\nI don't like wearing a watch simply because it gets in my way when I'm writing and typing ~ there are times when I should really rethink that!

No. I did it all the time as a kid, and I see fine, besides nearsightedness.

Unless they are blind, of course it is deliberate. Clothes can be worn in that manner and still be modest.

For me, glasses can make a woman who's otherwise merely attractive look absolutely beautiful.\n\nWhy?  I have no idea.

I know that this may sound stupid, but do you wear glasses, if not, have you had your eyes tested recently?
