[ELI5] Perfect Eyesight/Prescription Glasses

594 views

Hi all,

​

I’ve been curious about this for a while. Lets say there are two people, one with perfect eyesight, and another who does not have perfect eyesight and wears prescription glasses. If the person with perfect eyesight wears the prescription glasses, does that person see the exact way the person who does not have good eyesight does?

​

Thanks in advance and I hope I was clear!

A better example is contact lenses. The lens is very close to the lens in the actual eye.

Basically, you can see exactly as well as someone who doesn’t need correction. Perhaps even better, because your eyesight has been corrected perfectly.

For comparison, someone who wore braces to straighten their teeth vs someone who didn’t.

Of course, your eyes can change prescription, you can get dust and scratches on a contact lens, infection, you have to take them out every day to give your eyes 8 hours rest from them, you can get additional reflections or whatever from lights at night. And so soon.

But yes, your vision is otherwise perfect.
