How People See Without Glasses! (Nearsighted/myopia) #shorts

As an eye doctor, I show the Interpretation of how people see with nearsightedness (myopia). Have you ever wondered people's vision without glasses? This gives you a good example of how some people see without glasses.
This video shows how people see with different amounts of nearsightedness or myopia, which is the inability to focus distant images. As you notice in the video, the higher (or more minus) the nearsightedness, the worse the distance images get in the video.

Me with prescription of -1.5: “YOU DIDNT HAVE TO CUT ME OFF-” 😭

[Random-qtkg]

3.50 is too much, I hv 3.75 and I see way clear like -2

[corytom]

-2.00 here. I remember my first pair of glasses as a kid. I was so amazed that the trees had so many leafs. Before it looks like a big, fluffy green thing stuck on a trunk, morphing as the wind blows.

[Cqrzi]

I have -1 eyesight and i can confrim that im not that blind.

[ciciuuganbayar]

-5 vision here, in this video -5.00 is probably -9.00 or -10.00 prescription. Correct me if im wrong!

I am 24 years old. I have high myopic astigmatism. No laser correction is done. I refuse phakic lens surgery because of its many disadvantages. No headache or eye burning; I am not at risk of keratoconus; the retina is in good condition; the fundus of the eye is also in good condition; no spots. I can see very well with glasses, and I'm happy. I wish everyone good vision like I have.

How do I tell my parents I need glasses without getting yelled at.?

Edit : already told them they did got mad but it was worth it I'm getting glasses soon. I didn't go for an eye test yet maybe in this week I'll update when I go there

[armyblink]

As a -1, 20 I cried after seeing everything clear when I put glasses for the first time am not dramatic but it so good to see the world clear 😢

[irgendwerausbayern]

I have 4.5 on one side and the other side has 4.75. Without my glasses, my vision is like a camera that's not focused.

Myopia, or nearsightedness is the condition when a person cannot see distant objects clearly without glasses. Nearsightedness is caused by focusing on close-up objects such as a book or a computer for long periods of time. The result is that the eyes get stuck in the close-up focus position and can no longer focus on distant objects. If we look inside the eye, we can see how this problem occurs. After focusing on close-up objects for extended periods, the focusing muscles in the eyes (which are called the "ciliary muscles") lock up. This results in the eyes becoming more and more elongated. Nearsightedness occurs when the eyes become overly elongated. When that happens, there is no turning back. The eye cannot go back to its previous shape. The ability to see distant objects clearly without glasses is lost forever.

What can be done to prevent nearsightedness in a child? The key is to catch the problem as soon as the child experiences the very first sign of any difficulty seeing distant objects clearly such as the TV or the writing on the board at school. Ask the child from time to time if he or she can see distant objects clearly. For example, ask the child to read a distant road sign or a newspaper held up at a distance. If the child is having any difficulty at all seeing such objects clearly, that is the time to act. Don’t delay - otherwise there will be an irreversible overelongation of the eye.
Usually, eye doctors will prescribe distance glasses for correcting blurred distance vision. The wearing of distance glasses aids the vision of myopes by bringing everything closer so that distant objects are within the range of focus. Unfortunately, distance glasses actually make nearsightedness worse and irreversible. This is because they force the focusing muscles to stay locked up. This in turn forces the eyes to further elongate, resulting in the need for stronger distance glasses as time goes by. The child is thus doomed to a lifetime of total reliance on distance glasses to see distant objects clearly and progressively worsening nearsightedness. Distance glasses are a false friend.

There is an alternative - reading glasses. If a child starts wearing reading glasses for prolonged periods of reading and other close work at the first sign of any difficulty with distance vision, the focusing muscles will relax and cannot lock up. Reading glasses relax the eyes. There should be no further elongation of the eye. Distant objects can be seen without the need for any glasses. It is important to note that the child will not be reliant on reading glasses. They are simply a protective tool that should be used during long periods of close work. If strong enough reading glasses are used, nearsightedness should be prevented. It is important that the reading glasses be strong enough to completely eliminate all focusing effort (accommodation) when reading. Whenever close work is done without the protection of reading glasses, it is important to:
1. Hold the work as far away as possible.
2. Use as much light as possible in order to reduce the size of the pupil and, consequently, the accommodation.
3. Look into the distance frequently to relax the accommodation.

What strength reading glasses should be prescribed? The rule of thumb is to prescribe plus lenses that are about 3 diopters more positive than the distance prescription, in other words a +3 "add." If the child is just moving into myopia, he or she might need a +3 lens. If the child is already a -1, he or she might need a +2 lens. This brings the limit of clear vision in to a typical reading distance of 33 cm or about 13 inches. Astigmatism is normally not corrected.
It is essential to tell the child that when using the reading glasses, he or she should keep the object far enough away so that it appears very slightly blurred, but still legible. As the eye tries to clear this slightly blurred image, the maximum relaxing force is applied to the ciliary muscle.
Can a child just use reading glasses bought at a drug store? No. A professional should be seen to obtain individualized advice. Drug store reading glasses are intended for adult-size heads. The distance between the lens centers conforms to the usual distance between the pupils of the adult head. If such glasses are used by young children, who have a smaller interpupillary distance, the "prismatic effect" of the lenses causes increased convergence. This can cause problems such as double vision and should be avoided. The distance between the child's pupils should be measured when the eyes are converging on a book. The centers of the eyeglass lenses should not be any farther apart than that distance.

This is not accurate at all. i am -2.50 and i see like -1 and another reason why this isn’t accurate is people with - see things better at close distance but whole thing is blurred in the video so that’s a big mistake.

[CryptTheDragon]

Try mine, OD, -0.25 axis of 152, OS, -0.50 axis 005. Here the fun part, prisms that I can't get anywhere, OD 5.5 BO, 1 BD, OS 5.5 BO, 1 BU. I have slight strabismus and astigmatism. Meaning I need prisms to fuse double vison or binocular diplobia. I can't for the love of me find consumer lenses for over 5.0 diopters. I have 5.5 diopters you can't buy online.

[Sugar_Peachiebb]

Hey -5.5 here and I can see way better than that I know I’m blind but I’m not that blind 💀

[jhene.aiko.numberfan]

as someone with glasses this is pretty accurate

[professional.commentator]

I'm -6 and it's actually more like the -1 view. The -5 looks like what I would imagine someone with -10 to have.

[cherrylgalimba]

My right eye is -4.00 and my left eye is -3.00

[Logical]

As someone with a -7.75 and -8. This just isn't true, I see like a -3.5 without my contacts/glasses.

[savviie]

My prescription is 1.5 in my left eye and 3 in my right, this is surprisingly accurate 😳

[TaylorSwiftFan]

Last time I checked I was a 0.5 prescription and the eye doctor said I can get glasses if I’d like, and I am bc I think my vision is pretty blurry so hopefully the glasses help :)

[joelroshan]

As a boy with -5.5 it's hard without my eye glass but my eye glass are not as thick lucky for me but it's expensive
