Small problem and a question

[dragonimp]

I have a small stye or zit or something at the corner of my eye that's causing some irritation, so I'm giving it the warm washcloth treatment - though not right at the moment, because this keyboard requires two hands - and since it's my left eye, this really limits what I can do. No reading, or anything else that requires me to see details. I suppose I could watch something, if I didn't care too much about tracking the screen. I might have to stick to podcasts.

Which brings me to my question, for those who wear glasses or other corrective lenses.

TV usually depicts poor sight by unfocusing the camera, but I've never thought that looked right. For me, it's more like ... closest analogy I can come up with is trying to look through static. The details are there, I can tell they're there, but unless I stare right at them they tend to be intermittently obscured. And small things like letters don't stay put. So my question is: how is uncorrected vision for anyone else? Is the "blurry camera" depiction accurate, close, way off? Are my eyes (eye) just weird?

Sub-question: do your glasses actually give you clear vision? (Mine never have.)

I too have corrective lenses and I agree, many people think its blurry but I see tiny pixels of color every where not fuzz. Even with my glasses on I see tiny pricks of color instead of smooth color.

After the Matrix came out I always wondered if my program was faulty and the robots need to fix my resolution XDD

The pricks of color sounds similar to my "static," I wonder how common that is? It's one of those things (like not having depth perception) I didn't even question until I got older because that's just how the world was to me.

LOL, yeah XD. Who loaded the VGA graphics by mistake??
