Reminds me of my first eye exam as a nearsighted youngster. The doctor told me to go look out the window with a pair of temporary lenses. I exclaimed to my mom that those dark splotches on hillsides were trees!


When I first got glasses circa age 9, my first remark upon leaving the shop was, "oh, wow, I can see the leaves from here!" (standing under ca. 20-30 foot tall tree)

My mother later said she had never felt so guilty.


I distinctly remember the main effect being that everything suddenly looked way, way more "3D".

It actually briefly made me worse at batting, in baseball. Took some getting used to.


At the beginning of the day I would take note of what color clothing my friends were wearing so that I could find them at recess, and assumed it was a problem everyone had.
