    Yes, you only know what you’ve experienced. If everything’s blurry, that’s normal.

    I know when I got my glasses, the optician said to look across the road with my glasses on. There was a brick wall the other side and I could see it clearly. I was amazed and said as much. I don’t think my sight had always been bad but it must have been bad for long enough for that to be a revelation.

      I was amazed that I could see the leaves on trees as we drove home. Apparently that’s an extremely common experience among people who just got glasses.

        I had the same experience. Starry nights were almost like stepping into a fantasy. I remember one friend came with me to get my glasses and he quoted his sister when she got first glasses and for some reason it stayed with me for the last thirty years.

        I can actually see individual blades of grass.
