Eli5 Alcohol double vision vs Glasses

254 views

I’m a fairly new glass wearer . I’ve always had great vision until I had chemo, which part of it f-ed my vision ( I was 20/15). Anyway, I’ve noticed whenever I am inebriated ( with alcohol) I don’t have double vision. whenever I put my glasses on (R and L – 75 CYL R 0.25).I see perfectly. Even when im tipsy. Now… why??? ( PS: Before any question, I have NEVER driven while I’m drunk, and yes I know that the glasses give me a “sober” sensation, but I know it’s a illusion”).

Double vision is from the lack of coordination between the eye muscles. When you are wearing your glasses your eyes don’t have to work so hard to remain focused, so a reduced muscular coordination is still good enough.
