I wear contacts, which is fine. For now. But I'm also a survivalist, and I know for a fact that I wouldn't survive in the event of a disaster. My vision is just too bad. It isn't like squinting to see the blackboard in class kind of bad, it's squinting to see your face less than an arm's length away kind of bad.
I have a small stockpile of contacts and solution, but they'd run out in less than a year if I used them right. I can't wear my glasses because the lenses are so thick; they distort the image at the edges, which defeats the whole point of improving vision, and they give me migraines. Also, glasses don't cover peripheral vision. That could be a liability. I've also researched Lasik, but it can cause new vision problems, and the results don't last.
Disaster scenarios aside, the thought of being half-blind my whole life is just plain depressing.
