My one eye is extremely nearsighted, to the point that glasses and contacts have never helped at all. My other eye is perfect.
It's really hard to explain what it looks like through my bad eye. Shapes are pretty much non-existent, it's just colors. Like in Dagger's username, I can see something blue on the right of his name, but i can't even tell that it's supposed to be two independent shapes, let alone the fact that they're stars. Reading is nearly impossible unless I get within about 6 inches of my monitor.
