Eli5: When short-sighted people stand next to a mirror that is in an open space, do they see it clearer than just looking at that space, because the light is closer to the eyes?
In: Biology
No. When I was little I used to see how bad my eyesight was and it was so bad I’d almost have to get right up to the mirror, within about 4″. You know how when you look in a mirror, it’s almost like you’re looking through a doorway into another room, just blocked by another you? Your eyes still perceive distance the same way in a mirror unfortunately
