I don't remember seeing people differently it was more the big things like trees and clouds and scenery that made a big impression . I think my grades at school got better because I could finally see what was on the blackboard.
Its going the other way now and I remember a couple of years ago the night when in London when I couldn't read the A to Z at night unless I took my glasses off.

>>I had the opposite experience when I got my first pair of glasses at about 11 or 12. I'd concealed the need for them as long as I could as I knew the saying "girls don't make passes at boys who wear glasses". I remember walking home spellbound by the trees where I could finally see each individual leaf for the first time ever.

>>>That's farsighted, right? Then you've had that your whole life? I didn't understand the true nature of not seeing with clear accurate vision (I've had 20/15 my whole life) until I started needing glasses for fine print. Wow, I could really sympathize the first time I had to read the small print on a prescription bottle and couldn't! :o)

>>>>>I have 1x reading glasses that I bought at Walmart (per the eye doctor's recommendation) and use for reading fine print on medicine bottles, ingredients on food products and shampoo, et al. I finally had to admit that the print wasn't getting smaller and it was my eyes :o) I actually have a prescription that has 1x on the bottom and nothing on the top. I've never used them though because I only need them when reading small print and I'd rather have larger glasses for that then try to look through the very bottom of glasses.
