Agreed, but what if something went wrong now or in the future? How
would you deal with it? Would you wish you still had those "horrible"
glasses or is even a complication with impaired vision better than
glasses? Myopes can take their glasses off to read or peak under them.
Those that wear bifocals probably for convinence or because they are
highly myopic and can only see a few inches without em which makes
reading inconvinent when you cant see the whole page at once! Contacts
make me plano and in focus for infinity. I dont have enough
accomodation to see so well from up close. Being myopic is like having
built in readers. Monovision works by leaving one eye myopic, but its
not for me.
